I've been able to paste from Win95 Excel to the Ogo witht the following
problems:
1. The clip'n'go paste buffer will not hold too much data; I had to
copy/paste my spreadsheet in sections.
2. Some of the empty cells were apparently not copied as being empty.
This messed up some of the calculations on the spreadsheet. This was
easily fixed by clearing those cells on the Ogo (to clear: select
cells, enter Menu-delete).
