Here is a sample piece of code. Note, you have to supply your own
RTF data.

Dim cb as Clipboard
Dim rtfString as string

' Create a clipboard object.
cb = new Clipboard

' Get the RTF data.
rtfString = getMyRTF

#if TargetWin32

' Add the RTF data to the clipboard.
cb.AddRawData(rtfString, "Rich Text Format")

#elseif TargetMacOS

' Add the RTF data to the clipboard.
cb.AddRawData(rtfString, "RTF ")

#endif

' Put the text on the clipboard.
cb.text = myText
