What about for QEdit DOS ("TSE Jr." is a godawful name, and I won't use
it :)?  You may recall that when I last suggested this "feature"
(December of 1995!), you said you weren't aware as to how it could be
done.  I then told you that Jonathan de Boyne Pollard's Family Mode API
library (FAMAPI.ARJ) contains an include file (WINDOWS.H) which contains
a structure related to accessing the OS/2 System Clipboard from DOS.
I haven't heard from you since.
Is this "feature" *ever* going to be added?  Indeed, is there ever going
to be any further releases of "TSE Jr."? (yuck - it leaves a bad taste
in my mouth)
