Have you tried this site instead (from PODS)?

How would you like to do it? Select a memo to paste it into, then
complete the paste? I don't know of any application which does this at all.
Putting them all in one memo would be bad also, since MemoPad has a 4k
restriction on the size it can use to store that information.

See my message from plucker-dev yesterday. Excerpt:

> 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."

You managed to hack the url to locate the (not public) bug tracking
site we (the developers) were testing. I'm cleaning up a few last things,
running one last security sweep across the php code, and making it live. Your
bugs are still in there. No worries.

You have the code, you could probably hack in a threshold there if you
wanted:
[ 4] How many lines to leave from the previous page when scrolling?

FontHack screws up quit a lot of things, and for good reason, hence
the name, hack =)
