Hello Mary,
My reading from your last message is that you want to know why there is a cut 
command in the Edit menu of Finder and yet it does not work.
This is for consistency sake, when one creates a program in MacOs, the system 
provides some default menus.
The Apple, Application, File, Edit Window and Help menus are available in in 
all applications, and most of the items within those menus are also standard 
and have default positions. All the developer can do is disable items that are 
not relevant like cut in the Finder, or copy and cut when nothing is selected.

Every Macintosh since 1991 has had an Edit menu with Cut Copy and Paste in that 
order and for probably the last 20 years, the Undo and Re-Do commands were 
added above the cut command. If you look at the Edit menu in the finder it 
should say, cut dimmed, this means that the cut operation is not currently 
available.

Cheeers! 
Jonathan Cohn
