I've seen some code that did just that on exit but I think there's a problem
with that. According to the folks that do the platinum certification
testing for Palm (and if I read their test kit properly), leaving text in
the clipboard is appropriate for copying from one app to another. I think
they even test to make sure your app does this.
So anyway, clearing the clipboard should eliminate the errors but when build
a release version of the application I should leave it and it's not a memory
leak. Right?

Subject: Re: Clipboard and Memory. Leaking?
The clipboard is in the Dynamic heap, so I guess it could
appear to leak
even if it's not. Try copying something very SMALL to the
clipboard before
exiting.
