Thanks
i did actually get stuff into J, by turning crlf's into literal \n's and using
the command line GUI, but i am still trying to get stuff out, ie i need to get
J to set the clipboard. Possibly using file foreign's out of J, and then using
powershell to write that temporary file to the clipboard.
If i used a temporary file for reading too, i might be able to eschew the
crlf/\n subterfuge
Might work until 11!: is resurrected for Desktops

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

be implemented in desktops J as 11!:
