In mine, I can. But either way around (copying or pasting), what's clipped
has to be *short*.

If I want to shunt medium-length (let alone long) chunks between XyWin and
conventional Windoze programs, I either do so via TSR or I use TSR instead
of XyWin.

The Technology Group knows about the clipboard limits. After all, George
Bushman said of it on this very mailing list (on 23 September 1997):

But good news: TTG is working on it! According to the company's own web
page http://www.tgrp.com/support/ :
