Ok, this was bugging me, so I think I've come up with a solution that does what you want. It relies on you having snow leopard and it's an automator service.
Go into automator and create a new service. Go to the actions/ddescription split view and interact with it. Go to the actions library split view and interact with that. Go to the actions table, make sure the keyboard focus is there, and start typing run. The action you're looking for is run shell script. Once you find it in the table, hit enter on it. Stop interacting with all that stuff and vo-left to get to the workflow. Interact with it and find the run shell script action. Interact with that and hit vo-right until you get to the text area that says cat. Delete everything in there and paste the following script in its place cat >/tmp/clipboard pbpaste|cat - /tmp/clipboard|pbcopy Save the workflow as something like, "append to clipboard" If you want to, go into keyboard preferences and give it a shortcut, try to make it pretty obscure since it'll be available anywhere in OS X. Anyway, highlight your text, and either hit the shortcut or vo-shift-m to bring up the context menu, go into services, and find your service name. and activate it. That should append whatever you've selected to whatever's already on the clipboard. You can do this as many times as you like. To start again, just use a normal copy. I'll be kind of interested to see how this works for you, actually. I don't have much use for it myself, and I've only tested it quickly, so don't rely on it to launch the space shuttle or anything, but it *should* work.
