Exact same behavior on Mac OS X, so the key binding modifiers seem to 
work consistently.

What do Linux apps typically use for copy/paste key bindings these 
days, anyway?  Ctrl-C/V?  I remember using some sort of middle mouse 
click in X11 apps to copy/paste, but that was quite a while ago.

Anyway, if a Linux user like Ned likes dupMain, at least that shows 
that it's useful for more than just Windows users.  I switch between 
Windows & Mac quite a bit, and occasionally find myself trying Ctrl-C 
to copy text in Squeak on the Mac...
