Hi,

Another newbie WinSqueaker here also backs CnP via Ctrl-C or better still to 
support Windows'es Ctrl-Insert and Shift-Insert _as_well_ as an option.

A "command" or message window would be another good idea, it took me several 
hours to find the "do it" menu option, and having to select a menu option 
half way down a long menu over and over is tiresome, Ctrl-Return would be 
good in a workspace window.
