Q1 Copying to FINDER clipboard should be SO.... simple. What am I missing.
I'm an Applescript newbie myself, and I had this same problem a while ago.
It turned out that I had to phrase it like this:
tell me to activate
set the clipboard to ...
where "me" is the script itself.
In your case, I'm not sure if using the clipboard is the best way to
accomplish what you are trying to do. How about something like this
(pseudo-code, this doesn't actually work):
set fileList to to the name of every file ...
tell application "ClarisWorks"
activate
set text of active window to fileList
In other words, pass the text to Clarisworks in a variable, not through the
clipboard.
