- Hello, I'm not sure what you meant by:
There were just those running everywhere as it should be.
- It's good to avoid using the clipboard where possible, because: the clipboard can be slow, it can be difficult to confirm when the copying/pasting has completed, it can require focusing a window (you can't use it in the background), you can have problems when 2 programs want to use the clipboard at the same time, you can have problems with saving and restoring the clipboard contents.

Thanks. This is working fine for now. I don't want to use the clipboard, but there seems to be no other solution.
