Yes. But the problem was that 1) whenever there was any insecure access to the clipboard all successive calls would use this local clipboard and 2) I am not sure it is really valuable to have (mutually?) insecure code (ex)change the information in a local clipboard. I would like to hear Gary's opinion on this though since he is working on the security review. Cheers, Mark
