clipboard display in Windows

[Craig McPherson]

Thanks for the suggestions Michael. Can't create new layouts (Pan  
Engine) and could easily use a superalert, which is so much better  
than showclipboard.....ooops, 4.0.2. Since the showclipboard works on  
Windows when there is less data to be displayed, this is not a  
problem I am interested in spending a lot more time on. Mainly I  
wanted to put it out there so that when and if Pan5Win happens,  
perhaps it will get fixed.

In the meantime, I did go through my Windows procedures and cull out  
lines which were commented out, like the one that said //11/2/04:  
when can I use superalerts and arraynumeric totals???.
