The documentation says about the connect argument:
connect
Whether to automatically connect the command item to a method in the owning
dialog. This is
a *connection request* type of connection
Then the link to connection request says:
A connection request is made when a menu command item is to be connected to
a specific
method name in a dialog, before the* menu bar* has been attached to a
dialog. Obviously it is
impossible to connect the item to a dialog method, before it is known what
dialog the menu bar
is going to be connected to. All *connection requests* are fulfilled the
first time the* menu ba*r is
connected to a dialog.
So, a .SystemMenu is not a .MenuBar.
Which implies that a using a connection request here will never
be fulfilled, because there is no MenuBar involved.
You need to do something similar to:
*popup~insertItem(IDM_PASTE, IDM_PASTE, 'put put')*
popup~insertItem(IDM_PASTE, IDM_COPY, "Copy")
popup~insertItem(IDM_PASTE, IDM_CUT, "Cut")
sysMenu~insertPopup(SC_MOVE, IDM_MENU_EDIT, popup, "Edit")
sysMenu~insertSeparator(SC_MOVE, IDM_SEPARATOR)
itemIDs = .set~of(IDM_COPY, IDM_CUT)
sysMenu~connectSomeCommandEvents(itemIDs)
*sysMenu~connectCommandEvent(IDM_PASTE, 'Paste')*

The insertItem() method is not documented to return a return code, it is
documented to return .true or .false. It returns .true on success and
.false on error.
if \ sysMenu~connectCommandEvent(IDM_PASTE, 'Paste') then do
-- handle the error.
end
