The CLIP command can use files as input so you may be able to use that for the
clip part:
>clip /?
CLIP
Description:
Redirects output of command line tools to the Windows clipboard.
This text output can then be pasted into other programs.
Parameter List:
/? Displays this help message.
Examples:
DIR | CLIP Places a copy of the current directory
listing into the Windows clipboard.
CLIP < README.TXT Places a copy of the text from readme.txt
on to the Windows clipboard.
The powershell commands are probably more flexible:
> get-help Get-Clipboard

Wow, it actually works!
i even learned how to shell out of J to W10
The shell is a bit of a bottle neck though
it seems to have a length limitation.
"The command line is too long"
perhaps i can send a string of lines, or
i may have to use file Foreign's
if there is not an undocumented clip Foreign.

How about this:
shell 'echo This is a test | clip'
shell 'powershell -command "Get-Clipboard"'

Thanks for the github location
sadly it too, has too many dependencies.
Still hoping for a raw Foreign

Fixed typo.
If you are running Windows, this is available:
0!:0 <jpath'~Addons/general/misc/clippaste.ijs'
or
https://github.com/jsoftware/general_misc/blob/master/clippaste.ijs
or
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jsoftware/general_misc/master/clippaste.ijs
Does this help?

subject: copy/paste implementation
i am trying to access the copy/paste buffer directly (w/o pacman) but i am
drawing a blank on how to do so. i seem to remember it was in Foreign 11 ...
but that is skipped over. Perhaps the definition of clippaste.ijs has it... but
i cannot find its definition online?
