Thanks everyone! I completely forgot that I should ctrl+s on the workspace. I think I have just become too used to google docs etc., and it didn't occur to me that I had to save in order to update a model.
Right, I now have two ways forward, and they both look useful for different problems. ws := Workspace open Gives me a simple way to paste in text, and do some initial hand editing Clipboard clipboardText Will be great when I know there is a 'clean-up' method that I need to run on e.g. a table I have grabbed from the web.
