OK. So with the help of a few great people on this list I now can do  
popup contextual menus for fields. Thank you.

A user suggested that pretty much every field (regular text field)  
should be able to have a contextual menu for Cut, Copy, and Paste at a  
minimum.

How would I add this feature to all my editable fields? I can do them  
one at a time but that would be pretty tedious. There must be a more  
global way to do it.
