Bad news, David.  Your code doesn't handle CMD-Keys either.  I just grabbed
it and put a command key into the About item.  Closer inspection indicates
that an Event, not a MenuSelection is being passed to the DA.  The event
is just the keydown of whatever key you are using with the Cmd key.

Now for some more information.  If I don't set the windowKind field, then 
Cmd-Keys continue to work just file.  I can't drag the window which is right.
If I set the windowKind field to dce->dCtlRefNum, the window drags, but
the Cmd is stripped off and I get just the keyDown event.

Has anybody else seen this?  Is it me?  Is it just my personality?  I'm
really starting to go crazy with this.
