I'm from a Linux/Unix background so this may not be possible
in the Apple/Mac GUI framework.
I want to be able to retrieve "the selection" as text. Not the
clipboard, but the last selection in an application made by
the user. On Unix systems .. well .. on X Server based systems,
there is a server holding the selection as it is made by various
applications. On the mac, I think this is only done for things
added to the clipboard.
So the question is: how do I ask for the most recent selection
made by any application?
Thanks!
Owen
