There is -- set the clipboard to -- but the command has nothing to do with

I have a related question: How do you copy contents of a selection
onto the clipboard? For instance, in Eudora I want to be able to
select a chunk of text and issue a search for that text in Filemaker
(without using Command-C). I have not been able to figure out how to
copy a random selection into a variable.
I would have guessed it would be something like:
tell application "Eudora Pro"
copy selection to theVariable
end tell
...but that doesn't work at all.
Thanks.
