I agree that compared to the Mac, ClipBoard support on the Amiga is 
atrocious.  It is up to users (and reviewers) to point this out to
software developers.  On the other hand developer support for ARexx
is growing much more quickly than I anticipated, and ARexx provides
MUCH more powerful inter-application communication than the ClipBoard
does.

Andrew.
