I am using the Cut & Paste routines under Decwindows, VMS 5.4. When trying
to use the routine within the same application, everything worked. However,
between different applications (processes), it wouldn't work. The second
application claimed the clipboard was locked. Although the manual states that
I don't have to do so, I inserted a CLIPBOARD UNLOCK whenever I finished a
clipboard operation, (i.e. Cut, Paste, or even just a LIST PENDING ITEMS), and
the problem disappeared. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug which
requires me to do an UNLOCK? Thanks.
