Publisher 5.13 or 4.13. *help clipboardholder shows it's version 0.15 (2004-05-03), which as far as i know is the standard one that comes with OS 4.39.

(correct me if i'm wrong. i come to this conclusion by pasting by bit into a blank Edit page, which takes on filetype Text. if you paste something of another type into a blank Edit page and then save, Edit assigns it that filetype.) i have now installed IcnClipBrd (version 0.15 by Thomas Leonard and Steve Fryatt, 2009) and now i CAN use Ctrl-V to get my bit of text from Impression into Netsurf's URL bar. i'm still curious about the wherefores of this odd stumblingblock involving Impression, the built-in Clipboard Holder and the URL bar. how can we examine the internal details of what's actually on the clipboard? -- Jim Nagel www.archivemag.co.uk
