The clipboard is from Jon's Commands and returns a list. If I coerce the
clipboard to a string *first* and then put it into a variable, I have no
trouble setting the body of a Palm memo.
set the clipboard to "foo"
set bar to (the clipboard as string)
tell application "Palm Desktop"
create new memo with {body:bar}
end tell
I think you're being too quick to condemn the product.
