Nice idea! I also propose an alternate solution, using the magic operation "Clipboard = %Clipboard%". Maybe others already mentioned that solution?
I second that. After trying various other methods, using
Clipboard := Clipboard
turned out to be the simplest and most effective solution.

Regarding the helpfile, it is not my first source for info. The forum and the helpfile complement each other. I tend to come to the forum for solutions (no need to re-invent the wheel) whilst I use the helpfile when I need help with a specific function or command.

@tidbit
I would disagree, the helpfile has many pieces of info that out-shine the forum.
However, this particular series of posts by SKAN, [How To], serve a purpose to extend the helpfile without rewriting it.
Typical posts of over a year that get "well said", or "thanks" add nothing to the conversation.
