Once again, it might help to know what you want to accomplish.  If you want
to copy the screen, I probably wouldn't use the clipboard,  I'd probably
use 'copyBlt' and copy the image into a pixmap.  For example:

-- untested code snippet --
constant
  ScreenSize   = getExtent( Screen ),
  ScreenBuffer = create( Pixmap, "", 0, 0, 0,
                         ScreenSize[1], ScreenSize[2], 0 ),

procedure CopyScreenToBuffer()
  copyBlt( ScreenBuffer, 0, 0, Screen )
end procedure

procedure CopyBufferToScreen()
  copyBlt( Screen, 0, 0, ScreenBuffer )
end procedure

-- end of untested code snippet --

Hope this helps,
