This machine does not have JQT,
It is only a rump with JHS...
There is a server, normally,
but it is offline for the summer
(it gets Hot:-)

Anyway, the file process that i used
for 'paste'ing from J is

1!:44 'C:\l\j\p\me'          NB. changed to home dir
cb=: 1!:21 <'clipboard'      NB. added file
nucs 1!:2 cb                 NB. sent data (nucs) to file
shell 'type clipboard | clip'NB. sent file to win clipb

Once cb, is set presumably one can copy/paste
indefinitely... with just steps 3 & 4
The other proggy just uses ctrl-xcv

What channels on Github, are related to c/p?
It would be nice if a rump, such as this,
did not have to do anything elaborate
- to do something so "normal"/simple

You are welcome.
