copy-paste not working in a standalone

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Jacque,
I'm not 100% sure but I don't think he has a menu script right now.

Your handler works fine of course.  However, when I tried that simplistic
approach in my SQLiteAdmin program, it was politely pointed out to me by a
customer that the availability of cut/copy/paste/clear commands should be
dependant on the cursor being in a control where they make sense.

In my case, only text was involved but I ended up adding code that detected
whether the current control was a field or not and enabling/disabling the
controls appropriately.  Oh yes, and also enabling/disabling, the
paste/undo command depending on whether there was any text on the
clipboard.  It could get more complicated if you wanted to cut/copy out of
something like a datagrid.
