I use REXX to grab taglines, and pipe that through the OS/2 GNU SORT 
utilitity that will sort any size file, and will do a UNIQUE sort that 
eliminates duplicate lines.  Also have a DOS sort utility that does the same. 
 The OS/2?Unix utilities are in GNUTUTIL.ZIP (GNU textutils 1.9) and are very 
good, also the DOS sort is SORT03.zip, also good.  Both are freq'able here.

I run 4OS2 and tse/qedit/qeditfor OS/2 (I think that would be TSE pro, TSE jr 
and TSE jr/2), and all my cut and paste thing-ees work from the editors as 
well as the OS/2 clipboard.

Exactly what are you doing that's broke, I'll see if I can duplicate it here.
BTW, BOXER has a very good native OS/2 text editor, not TSE but excellent 
none-the-less.  You might want to give it a look-see while semware is working 
on the (yuck) Win version. (What would WIN users do with a "text" editor 
anyway:-)
