There are two products currently out that use the "CLIPBOARD" in the Finder.
Multiscribe 3.0 and WordPerfect (Not sure of it's version number.)

Could somebody tell me what the hell good the IIGS finder CLIPBOARD is? I don't have a Finder manual, and my experimentation hasn't turned up anything that is worth doing with the CLIPBOARD. I think it might make more sense under a multitasking (switcher) environment..

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..
