clipboard display in Windows

[Michael Correll]

Craig:

I see where you are going now.  You're right.  And it is a Pan 4 thing.

If you are using the clipboard as a user interface element to display  
what was just copied, could you not also use clipboard() to display  
the results of the "copy" cmd in a new window with a TDSO or AWT ?   
You could also create a custom dialog to display the results and then  
force the user to close the dialog window after they've viewed the  
results (and are presumably happy with their selection.)   Would that  
work?
