>   A function to select and copy text.

        Currently this isn't supported. It's a bit more difficult to add than
you would think, because of the potential for images inside the "clipped"
region to offset it (we'd have to exclude those images, but what if they
contained 'alt' elements? or were clickable links?). Also, since you could
have things like italics and <h1>..<h4> size fonts, as well as underlining
(things which the built-in PalmOS fonts don't support directly), it becomes a
bit trickier to handle that with a clipboard function. It could be
implemented, but in the interim, you may want to try this:

        "Because a lot of applications do not allow to copy the text displayed
         on the palm, ClipStringHack automatically records the texts displayed
         in the clipboard."

        Neat. I'm trying to teach myself Italian and German this year. Not
easy to do when you've got 10 million things on your plate like I do. =(

        Welcome aboard, and keep the suggestions coming!
