    Say, isn't it a little odd to have a flash clipboard when you don't
    have solid multitasking? What are you clipping between?

    The way I understood it, the Mac creates little files someplace
    in much the same way that saving brushes out of DPaint does - then
    the other application can choose to look in whatever passes for the
    directory containing these brushes, and choose one.

    Does it do the equivalent of Snap's operation where you clip the
    text from point A using the mouse, then hit a key to insert it into
    point B?
