The console.device itself doesn't use the clipboard.device, because its in ROM, and the clipboard.device is on the workbench disk. (console.device also has a task, rather than a process) There is a utility on conclip which runs in the background, and sends and gets the internal console.device clips to and from the clipboard.device. There, now you know. andy -- andy finkel {uunet|rutgers|amiga}!cbmvax!andy Commodore-Amiga, Inc. "God was able to create the world in only seven days because there was no installed base to consider."
