Thanks Mike. You have to understand that along the way, no one has screwed
up stuff more than me. Of that I am certain. So out of that abyss of trial
and error misteps comes an occasional piece of useful logic.

Mike:
I just had to express my appreciation and admiration for these nuggets of
wisdom. You have such an ability for making powerful concepts so
understandable! Or as Razzak would say, "It's so simple."
Thank you for your contributions to the R:BASE community.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Paste / Clipboard
in 7.6 help > index> clip you will see two references, clipboard and
clipboardtext.
I see that PASTE doesn't get to the clipboardtext item, but if you think
of
the logic of it, from the RBase side, you aren't pasting at that point,
you
are retrieving something that you have already pasted from another
application.
I agree that the helpfile would be enhanced for related commands or topics
if it included a "see also" link at the top for these instances. However
if
you go to the help SEARCH and type in Clipboard, then sort alphabetically,
the third and fourth items are Clipboard and Clipboardtext.
I am in no way admonishing you for asking for help, I am just encouraging
"anyone" to first employ the brute force method on their own first before
asking for help. You might be surprised at how much depth of skill you
pick
up along that road as you will make many mistakes and that is really what
the basis of knowledge is, learning from past mistakes.
