	My SigmaEdit DA (which is also written in Lightspeed C) also has to 
detect the Edit command based on the current keydown event and detect it that
way.  This, however, poses a problem for international use (except that to my
knowledge and experience with the int'l system the cmd keys for the Edit menu
are still the same).
