I am a complete newbie when it comes to FLTK.  I started reading some of the 
documentation and came across this:

"the system only has to provide arbitrary shaped but featureless windows, a 
powerful set of graphics drawing calls, and a simple, unalterable method of 
delivering events to the owners of the windows... Much of the design of FLTK is 
to prove that complex UI ideas could be entirely implemented in a user space 
toolkit, with no knowledge or support by the system." [1]

I have a problem with the word 'entirely' here, since it seems that it would be 
impossible to implement things like accessing the system clipboard, drag & drop 
between applications and things like system color schemes entirely within the 
user space toolkit with no knowledge/support of the system.

Since I am a complete newbie, can someone point me to a quick example of how 
one might implement the standard right-click context menu on a text widget 
(input or static text) with the ability to copy/paste the selected text into 
the system clipboard?

Thanks,
Jeff Schiller
