Deleting cards can be trapped by a handler in a stack such as

on doMenu what
	if what is "Delete Card" then ask...
	else pass doMenu
end doMenu

Starting with HC 1.1 or 1.2 (I can't remember which), HyperCard has also
supported UNDO of a Delete Card.  Editing the menus will not change the
command key shortcut.  The only way to override such things is to use a
doMenu handler, or put the stack in the browse mode.
