<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">When those commands are chosen from the menu, my copy and paste scripts are executed as expected. But when I use the command-key equivalents, my scripts are not executed, and some standard copy and paste behavior takes place instead.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">I can see why when Metacard's own menu is open as a palette there could be some ambiguity about which command-key equivalents have priority. But this problem occurs even when Metacard's own menu is not open. And when I press command-C, my own menubar's "Edit" button flashes, as if to confirm that the keypress has triggered the action that my menubar's script commands.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">What is governing this behavior, and how can I get my own scripts to be called when the command-key combinations are used?</p>
