Clipboard manager is glipper 2.4 I use simpleclip routinely so that I can copy and paste from the system clipboard without affecting the emacs kill ring. However, I could use a function that would copy any string variable (such as output from buffer-file-name) to the system clipboard. Is such function available? thanks -- Tim http://www.akwebsoft.com, http://www.tj49.com
