- Much of the code for this has already been written. It also requires
- Executor so send "suspend" and "resume" events so applications will
- know to copy their internal clipboard to the external one. This works
- fine under NEXTSTEP. I don't know if we'll get this feature into E/L
- before E2 ships; most likely we won't. On the other hand it should be
- something we can do soon after E2 ships.

- The same comments apply. Basically most of this work is already done.
- The text case is a little easier than some of the other ones so I'll
- see if we can't squeak this in.
