[Xerte] 'Copy to clipboard' facility

[Julian Tenney]

System.setClipboard(), but ther is no System.getClipboard(), so users
will have to paste it themselves.

Subject: [Xerte] 'Copy to clipboard' facility

Another minor query. In an application the user is encouraged to write
text in text entry fields, which text is presented to them in a summary
page, in a scrolling read-only text field. The user can select and copy
text in the field by clicking & dragging then hitting Ctrl-C, but to
make life easier for naive users I'd like to supply a "Copy to
clipboard" button. Is this feasible, and if so is it easy? If 'no' and
'no', no big, I'll just give them instructions to hit Ctrl-A then
Ctrl-C. 

Cheers

Fred
