   See the Addison/Wesley "Libraries and Devices" Rom Kernel manual.
(chapter on clipboard.device).  You'll also need IFF specs to do
it right.  The book contains a fairly thorough explanation of the
clipboard and some utility routines for posting, etc.

   But although the docs say that all data written to the clipboard
should be in IFF format,  I think the example code only shows how to
write IFF text to the clipboard.  If you're planning to clip something
else (like graphics), you'll need the IFF docs and routines to help
you.
