André, Pete,
This script just works with the currently selected text and will work in a
stack without a menu, it's not perfect, but could be a useful starting point, I
think it should work OK with a DG too.

## Paste into the Main Stack script
on commandKeyDown pKey
switch pKey
case "c"
if the selection is not empty then set the clipboardData["text"] to
the selection
break
case "x"
if the selection is not empty then
set the clipboardData["text"] to the selection
put empty into the selection
end if
break
case "v"
if the clipboardData["text"] is not empty then put the
clipboardData["text"] into the selectedText
break
case "a"
select text of the focusedObject
break
case "z"
undo
break
default
pass commandKeyDown
end Switch
end commandKeyDown
