A question about clipboard method

[Satoshi Asakawa]

Hi all,

I have a question about clipboard method.

# get_from_system_clipboard.rb
Shoes.app do
  @l = para ''
  every(10) do
    @l.replace clipboard
  end
end

get_from_system_clipboard.rb works well on my Windows XP. :)

But,...

# put_to_system_clipboard.rb
Shoes.app do
  @l = para ''
  every(10) do
    clipboard = 'Chanky bacon!'
    @l.replace clipboard
  end
end

put_to_system_clipboard.rb displays 'Chanky bacon!' on the Shoes' app
window.
But, I do ctl+v on my wordpad, then don't display 'Chanky bacon!'.

Umm... I'm confusing...
What did I mistake or misunderstand? Anyone suggestion, please.

Satoshi
