I have been reworking an old program shell in spare minutes
scraped from nights and dreamtime.

Last night while testing it, I found that it implemented
pasting, even tho:
- i don't use FB's edit menu, but my own
- i grab the menu choice with my own FN doPaste

I believed that FB would control cut/paste/copy in the
runtime if you used the EDIT MENU command and just let
it do its stuff. I (thought I) had overridden it as I
will need to cut/copy/paste other than just text.

Can anyone push me (gently) in the right direction
as to when FB (vanilla) takes over these menu commands
and how I can tell it to leave well alone and let me
knit these things for myself.
