Oh, I am in the job of creating functions that work on as many
versions of Emacs as possible (and as many operating systems as
possible).  The particular task is to copy a URL into <something>,
which can be pasted by the user somewhere else, possibly in another
Emacs buffer or possibly in another application.

The existing function has been copying into the 'X Clipboard' using
`x-set-selection'. This obviously does nothing on Win32.

Is `x-select-text' a reasonable alternative?

Cheers,
Uday

P.S. I have a vague recollection that the NT Emacs FAQ used to have
information like this.  It doesn't, any more.
