Someone asked about the clipboard.. Here's of brief summerization..

The Clipboard is a buffer space that can contain pictures, text, or any other
information that can be captured by the cut and copy commands under the EDIT
menu. This definition mostly applies to the Mac. The IIgs isn't developed
enough right now to handle pictures.. So, the GS clipboard is used mostly with 
text.. 

The Clipboard is basically used to PORT information (described as above) from
one application to another.. IE:(Mac example) Copying a picture from Mac Paint
and pasting it into Mac Write..

Anything else you would like to know, feel free to ask it..
