The target of the menus should be nil and you need to set the action to what
standard controls expect them to be. Namely:
cut: @selector(cut:)
copy: @selector(copy:)

[cutMenuItem setTarget:nil]
[cutMenuItem setAction:@selector(cut:)]
This of course means

Hi all,
Based on my app, the dialog boxes have to be created dynamically, so i can't
use Interface Builder, so they are assembled out of cocoa controls as
needed.
