When a user issues a cmdKey equivalent of copy (paste) for a desk accessory, 
does the DA get a parameter block csCode equal to accCopy (accPaste)?

The DA I'm writing will respond to copy and paste commands when the user
selects them with the mouse.  However, when a command key equivalent is
issued I must interrupt a keyDown event in order to respond correctly.
I had expected to receive an accCopy or accPaste.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Was I incorrect about my assumption, or is there something I should have 
done to inform the system, Desk Manager or whatever, that the DA can handle
key equivalents for the Edit menu commands?

I'm writing the DA in Lightspeed C so the drvrEMask includes keyDown events
(otherwise I would not be able to respond to such events).

Thanks,
