Have a look at the tools pbcopy and pbpaste that are delivered with OS neXt. There is a subtle difference between pasteboard and clipboard. NeXt has a pasteboard which sometimes refers to the current selection and not just to something that has been "copied". That allows services to do things like "execute selected text as a terminal command". -- --> From the U S of A, the only socialist country that refuses to admit it. <--
