The list of commands depends on the context. The menu displayed below is what you get when you right-click a node.

	Cut	Cut the selected text, node(s), or table cells into the clipboard temporarily for pasting.
	Copy	Copy the selected text, node(s), graph, or table cells into the clipboard so that you can paste them somewhere else. See Copying and Pasting.

	Group nodes	(New to Analytica 6.5) Combines the selected nodes such that the nodes will get selected as a single unit.

	Send to Back	Send the selected object(s) to the back of the drawing order so that the selected object(s) are drawn behind any overlapping elements. This menu option appears only when you right-click one or more nodes. This is the only way to move some nodes behind the others.
