Does anyone have an edit menu recipe they'd like to share? I've got one that works for the main stack, but doesn't seem to work for other stacks.

My Edit menus tend to be very simple most of the time, because the functionality I usually need is is already built in. It looks like all you are working with is text; if that is the case, then you don't need to do any more than this:


on menuPick which
  switch which
  case "Cut"
    cut
    break
  case "Copy"
    copy
    break
  case "Paste"
    paste
    break
  case "Undo"
    undo
    break
  case "select all"
    if the selectedField <> ""
    then select text of the selectedField
    break
  end switch
end menuPick

The engine automatically handles all the text operations. If you want to manage the editing of objects, then it gets more complicated. But not many apps need to do that, and it looks like all you need is text manipulation.
