Hi, Brett.
You're most-likely right about the behavior of the
clipboard. But that's NOT what is going wrong.
One is supposed to be able to enter a new son/dau, the dates
and locales, and SOURCE each as you go. From that I infer
that I need not put stuff on the clipboard first, that I can
simply pick a source from my master list, add the details
(ie., select DAR, detail=NN1234567, save, close) and next
time I open the program, that new person will be there and
the source will be attached.
My issue is -- the person and the dates were there, but not
the citation.
