How many lines CAN you copy at a time? If it is less than 64 I think I
will scream.

I guess it does. Blurbs from both HP and Geos had led me to believe that
it enables the transfer of data from clipboard to clipboard. If this is
the case I can see where various reciepient programs would be unable to
use the data, but I would still think that it should transfer the data no
matter what it is. (e.g. if someone writes a paint program for the OGO that
can handle paintbrush images, I assumed that C&G would be fine.

Thanks for the info, it is nice to know beforehand.
