Application services communicate through *A* pasteboard, not through *THE* pasteboard. From the introduction to services: "Services are performed by transferring data back and forth between applications through a shared pasteboard. Note that the two applications—service requester and service provider—are completely separate; they do not run in a shared memory space. The pasteboard holding the data is specific to the service request and does not normally interfere with the standard Copy/Paste pasteboard." So you can place your string on the services pasteboard you're passed and the general pasteboard for normal use. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
