Mathaeus,<br>
There is a limit to the number of inputs that can be transfered to
and from EES because in Type66, the character (string) variable that
transfers the information has to be declared with a certain (maximum)
length. The length can be modified by recompiling Type66 with a
modified value of szdelivertext. I am a bit more surprised by your
second question - I thought that Type66 was clearing the clipboard each
time, not just adding to it. Also, I had thought that Windows would
handle that (by dropping some older things off the clipboard). Could
you please send me your project so that I can have a look?<br>
Kind regards,<br>
David<br>

the sum

such an
amount of symbols defined as output. But if B) turns out to be true, my
clipboard has to be deleted as soon as it gets full. Then, my questions
