No, you're right. I just posted a correction and then saw this reply.
When testing, "is an array" returns false on the retrieved content, but
when asking for each key type the values are still there. That must be
why the dictionary calls it a "false array".

Ah k, thx! Sorry for steering you slightly wrong skip. The basic premise
should still work, but you'll have to jump through the extra hoops of
checking the keys each time through. Should still be plenty fast. (game
loops do the same thing, and do considerably more than what you're looking
at while still retaining enough speed.)

You'll have to walk through all the keys when both retrieving and setting
the array. The default when getting or setting the clipboarddata without
specifying a key is to return only the plain text. The array is lost.

Oooo... I will try that tomorrow!
Is there any way to save an alt+f keystroke to the clipboard data? I am
trying to automate some tasks during this entire exercise and this is also
one of my hurdles.
Thanks again,

One way would be to use a send in time loop. Check to see if the data in
the clipboard array is different, if so, act. Some untested quick and
dirty code follows.
command checkClipboard
if sLastClipA is empty then
put the clipboarddata into sLastClipA
-- do something with the data in sLastClipA
else
repeat for each key tKey in the clipboarddata
-- check the data in the keys here, against the keys you saved in
sLastClipA
-- if there is a change, do something with the data in the clipboarddata
end if
put the clipboarddata into sLastClipA
send "checkClipboard" to me in 100 millisec
end checkClipboard
