when I try to call $w->eventGenerate('<<Paste>>'); nothing happens. same with <<Copy>> and <<Paste>>. Though $w->eventGenerate('<Control-v>') et. al works fine. (but I want to rebind <Control-v> and ca +ll <<Paste>> to do the paste.) I looked in the TableMatrix.pm file (I'm a beginner at this stuff by the way) and it appears that < +Control-v> and <<Paste>> are bound to the same function 'Paste' in the exact same way, so why woul +dn't it work. I'm stumped. Though I know I could use Tk::TableMatrix->Paste(), it's not mentioned in the document +ation and so I assume that it's supposed to be a "private" subroutine.
