Yeah, that's as few steps as I could get it - trying to avoid code-bloat.
Thanks to you & Buddy for setting me in the right direction.

Got it:
Rows of data are displayed in an Enhanced DBGrid, the column of
interest to capture to the clipboard is Item Code.
In Variables for the form, I define vItem = Item to automatically
capture the Item Code into a variable regardless of which column I
click in theDB Grid.
I locate a Variable Edit for vItem on the form, component ID is
cidvItem; it gets populated with the current row Item Code.
In an On DBGridCellClick EEP, I have: PROPERTY cidvItem
COPYTOCLIPBOARD 'True'.
I also placed the VariableEdit "behind" the DB grid so user doesn't
even see it or have a chance to muck around with it; also set the
variable edit to Read Only.
Voila!

Well, I think that puts the cell value into a _variable_, not the
clipboard, which is where it ultimately needs to be.
And that's the first step of what Buddy suggested also.
Then, per Buddy: "Have an variable edit control for the getproperty
varname then copy to clipboard."
So at this point it look like a two step process.
A possible alternative to the first step is to define a variable
expression, vItem = Item, display vItem in a variable edit control
and then use PROPERTY <Component ID> COPYTOCLIPBOARD 'TRUE' in an
on-click EEP in the DBgrid.
I placed a variable edit for vItem on the form and it displays the
item code of the focused row (good) but but the PROPERTY did not
copy it to the clipboard.
Back to the drawing board.

If it does what it looks like it does, gonna be needing this myself:

Subject: [RBASE-L] - How to copy from a DBGrid cell?
How do I copy a text value from a DBGrid cell to the clipboard?
Equivalent to Ctrl-C so it can be pasted into another window for
mainframe inquiry.
PROPERTY <Component ID> COPYTOCLIPBOARD 'SELECTED' only works for
Edit, Memo, Image, and Rich Text controls.
