Usually I want separate keyboard and mouse, so that I can be playing Command & Conquer Renegade on one system while responding to emails on the other (hold W so Havoc keeps walking, read through emails by scrolling with right hand...); it's just the clipboard. It would, of course, be possible to write a clipboard viewer program for whichever platform - say, OS/2 - and have it connect via a TCP/IP socket to a program on another system - say, a Linux box - that has a little hidden window and puts stuff onto the clipboard. I will neither confirm nor deny having actually done this... *twiddles thumbs* ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
