Is it possible to place something (text in this case) into the

Yet another? The two most-used 3rd party osaxen (Jon's Commands and Akua
Sweets) both have commands for doing this.
Don't get me wrong, I like the lil buggars myself, but some of my
scripts are for other users who think that a scripting addition has
something to do with a Hollywood remodeling project. ;-)
But so does Standard Additions, which comes with your Mac and every other
Mac since at least OS 8.5. It incorporates the Jon's Commands version:
the clipboard
You always have to use "the", which is part of the terminology:
set yourText to "your text or whatever"
set the clipboard to yourText
It must have been the "the" that was causing me grief. Thanks!
