Re: Gambas clipboard - solved.

[Ian Roper <westozscribe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes that fixed the problem.

The original documentation must have been updated - could have sworn 
that it used to say "text/html" for text data.

This might have changed when 3.1.8 came out and "text/uri-list" was 
added ( wild guess)


Cheers,

Ian.
