What really sucks is the fact that there are abviously two kinds of clipboard. 
I experience situations where I copy some stuff with a "copy" menu item and 
when I want to paste it with Shift-Ins I get something different. The real 
contents have to be fetched with a "paste" menu. Don't know if this also 
"works" vice cersa.

Example: copy an URL from Mozilla using "copy" and then hit Shift-Ins in a 
PMMail window. Oops! I have to use "Edit->Paste" to get what I want. 
Fortunately, Mozilla also supports CTRL-Ins in the URL field.

As we're talking about Copy&Paste. I used to think that the lack of C&P from 
within PM windows is a PM or WPS problem. But Mozilla is the first OS/2 app 
which does it! :) So it seems to be there but no-one has ever used it ...

Regards
