Since there had been some gripes and discussions about the lack of clipboard 
use, I thought it fair to bring Perry to task (if the CEDPro release 2 is
still as last described to me).

While I had high admiration for CEDPro (I use it, but may go to TXed Plus)
I was dismayed that the original release ignored the clipboards.

So everyone, ask Perry if CED Pro release 2 will support the clipboard.
He indicated to me that clipboard support was NOT in CEDPro 2.  This 
stinks royaly!!  There is NONONO excuse for this.
It's time we let developers know what has been mulling down underneath for so
long, hoping to let certain failings go un-noticed, just so the Amiga would
survive.  Well, it's time to come out of the closet and say it-

IF IT DOESN'T SUPPORT CLIPBOARD BUT SHOULD- _I WON'T BUY IT_!!

Funny how developers will run to add AREXX (and that's nice) but ignore
the clipboard.  We need to draw attention to those who ignore this important
part of user support.
