[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Putting contents of a field to the clipboard

msriram@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu (M G SriRam) (02/13/90)

Is there a way (script, XCMD or XFCN) to put the contents of a field
into the ClipBoard? The form of the contents, ie TextStyle and
TextFont, etc, need to be preserved, hence i cannot simply open a file
and WRITE to it.  the reason i want to do this is that i want to send
field contents, including text properties into a FullWrite document.
Since I don't know the way in which FullWrite tags this information in
FullWrite documents (and I am not sure Ashton-Tate will tell me!) I
was hoping to send it first to the clipboard and thence import it into
FullWrite. The first part needs to be done from HyperTalk.

all ideas, hints, pointers are highly appreciated.
