Re: curious observation re Cut command
Hey DG, Can you bit a bit more specific about what you are doing when you try to Cut information and does Copy work? For instance, what application and portion thereof causes this behavior?

RE: curious observation re Cut command
Hey Chris, I'm assuming my subsequent exchanges on the list answered this? I think John explained it. If not, let me know. And thanks for the offer of help.

curious observation re Cut command
Hello all, I have noticed something that seems odd about the Cut command. It seems never to function. It doesn't matter whether I use Command-X or whether I go into the menus. If I go into the menu, that option simply shows as dimmed, even though I have an item selected. Likewise, if I press Command-X, nothing happens. Can anyone explain this?

Re: curious observation re Cut command
Can you give some more details? What application were you in, what did you select and how did you select it?

Re: curious observation re Cut command
The cut command is not available in read-only boxes and lists. The copy command should be available in this case. Also, I don't think cut is available in file browser, because generally a cut item is only in the paste-board once cut, and if you cut something else that file would be lost. I wonder if any of the multi-cut buffer applications would enable cutting in the finder? I have never tried any of these add-ons.

Re: curious observation re Cut command
The one common thread I can find is that I was working with files, rather than selecting text. So, I was selecting them by moving through the file table. Whenever I went into the menu, I was always able to copy the file, and the file I wanted always showed up as being selected. For any more specifics, I'm going to have to think about it, but let me know if there's more info that would be helpful.
