1. RE: clipboard
Jerry,
The Windows Clipboard is a temporary storage location for information
you cut or copy. The Clipboard is always present in Windows, and is used
whenever you cut, copy, or paste information. Information moved to the
Clipboard remains there until you move another piece of information to
it, or until you quit Windows.
In fact, I used the Clipboard to copy that info from the Win98 help file
into this reply. The information can be anything from text to bitmaps.
If installed, you can view the contents using the Windows clipboard
viewer located in Programs/Accessories/System Tools. If it's not there,
try Add/Remove Programs in your control panel.
The clipboard can be used for doing DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) to share
information between two running programs because all programs have
access to the clipboard.
Check the Euphoria archives for some librarys and examples of using the
clipboard programmatically.

Thanks for the explanation.
I downloaded a library for clipboard operations from user contributions
made by Jacques Deschenes.
It doesn't work for WinNT4.
So far as I know, there is nothing in user contributions for
clipboard programming operations that will work on WinNT4.
Could someone make this and add it to user contributions?
(
I mean like a package that includes:
-- a .e file or .ew file as a library
-- a .txt file or .doc file to explain stuff
-- possibly a .exw file to demo stuff
Just like Jacques Deschenes did, but for Windows NT4.
)
I could use it.

Hi Jerry!
I've got a clipboard.ew that works fine for ascii text on NT 4.0 but I don't
remember where it comes from.
I send it to your private mail together with a sample program.
Some times ago I've tried to make a command line utility out of it to send the
output of commands to the cliboard in order to circumvent the limitations of
Euphoria on NT 4.0. E.g.: \dir | clipboard but this does not work either, so I
gave up.
