I don't know much, only the actual reality of it: the clipboard is full (I
tried the "display dialog the clipboard" - which works fine. But once in
Entourage, no paste can do)
Maybe it lies within the fact that my "text" passed on to the clipboard
contains " & return & " to format the text to something pleasant to read
that actually makes the difference.
Check the script, and by the way, Entourage is X, not 2004 (if that also
makes a diff)
