> Table 2–2: Edit menu
> Edit
> Undo | Undoes the most recent operation, if possible. Item temporarily changes to Redo after an Undo.
> Cut | Moves the current selection to the system Clipboard.
> Copy | Copies the current selection to the system Clipboard.
> Paste | Copies the contents of the system Clipboard to the current cursor location.
> Duplicate | Duplicates the selection.
> Delete | Removes the selection permanently, unless Undone.
> Copy to File... | Exports the selection to a file on disk.
> Insert from File... | Imports the objects defined in a file on disk.
> Tab Order... | Sets the traversal order for the current frame.
> Goto Page... | Changes the current ADM page.

> ##### Edit Undo

> Shortcut: CTRL-Z — Undoes the most recent operation, including a Delete, if possible. The menu item text shows what that operation was. Item temporarily changes to Redo after an Undo. If undoing the most recent operation is not possible, this item is greyed out.

> ##### Edit Cut

> Shortcut: CTRL-X — Cuts the currently selected object, if any, to the clipboard.

> ##### Edit Copy

> Shortcut: CTRL-C — Copies the currently selected object, if any, to the clipboard.

> ##### Edit Paste

> Shortcut: CTRL-V — Pastes a copy of the current clipboard contents to the current workspace, at the current cursor position.

> ##### Edit Duplicate

> Creates a copy of the currently selected object without using the Clipboard. The new copy is pasted directly on top of the original. To see the original, the duplicate must first be moved out of the way.

> ##### Edit Delete

> Removes the currently selected object, if any. You can recover a deleted object if you can Undo the operation, but you cannot recover by pasting because the Clipboard is not involved.

> ##### Edit Copy to FIle

> Opens a dialog box to copy the source code for the currently selected object to an export (.wx) file.

> ##### Edit Insert from File

> Opens a dialog box to insert the contents of some file into the procedure editor at the current insertion point.

> ##### Edit Tab Order

> Only enabled when a frame is selected, this item opens the editor that allows you to define the TAB traversal order for objects in the frame. The editor offers five predefined orderings plus a custom ordering that you can define on a per-frame basis.

> ##### Edit Goto Page

> Only enabled when editing a SmartContainer. Opens the dialog box that lets you set the ADM Design Page. See the "Simple SmartContainers" section for information about the meaning of the Design Page.
