Hi Terry, the list,

the Clipboard holds many informations nowadays (vs long time ago where only one 
information was stored there).

Under Mac OS X, if you use AppleScript, do:

Go to the Finder, select a file, do Copy (either using Command-C or Edit --> 
Copy).

Then, run the AppleScript Editor and type:

tell application "Finder"
        return clipboard info
end tell

run and get:

{{string, 25}, {Unicode text, 50}, {«class hfs », 80}, {«class utf8», 25}, 
{«class ut16», 52}, {picture, 2288}, {«class icns», 42253}, {«class furl», 81}}

That means 8 different informations in the Clipboard. From the file name to the 
Icon (as a picture) and the file url (furl)...

If you paste the data in TextEdit (text only), you will get the file name, and 
if you paste the data in a TextEdit Styled window, you will get the Picture!

Ask me for more info.

BTW: how can I do the same using Windows / Linux ?

HTH,

Emile
