Ok, but I found this in the MC-manual: For data interchange with other applications, MetaCard can store and retrieve plain text from the system clipboard. But it doesn�t work correctly. MC must hav somthing of an own clipboard because the contents of the windows-clipboard and the MC-clipboard are sometimes different!!!! For my purpose it would be far sufficient to get the "comming to the front message" and then to check the clipboard. any further idea??? > > regards, > Tuviah Snyder > Diskotek > Custom Application Development & SuperCard/HyperCard Conversion at a low > price Ernst M.
