Then the result is ok.

Here a summary of my observations and conclusions:

1    If the Source is a Gambas TextArea:

       a) the context-menu-item "copy" of the TextArea delivers a HTML 
page to the clipboard. Why is that?

       b) the function Clipboard.Copy(TextArea1.Text) delivers text to 
the clipboard.

2.  If the source is external (i.e. Writer) the 
function Clipboard.Paste() may return Null.

The only way to always obtain usable text from the clipboard was the use 
of Clipboard.Paste("text/plain") - for whatever reason.

Best regards

P.S: My observation about URLs and my interpretation of "Support for 
URIs" was wrong. It seems that I was "lost in the woods".
