Ok... that's the same one I tried. It seems to stay loaded even after I
exit the full-screen session, other than that its an excellent program.

ahh... I thought it uses the PM clipboard. I was wondering how it can
paste from the PM clipboard when it seems impossible to access the
clipboard (for pasting) from a VIO or even a detached program.

There is another clipboard utility, pmclip (pmclip.zip, I think) that is
command line driven. With a couple of macros I have cut-n-paste to the
PM clipboard within a full-screen QEdit session. It is distributed
under the GNU Copyleft license with full source code.

Its also on hobbes, same place I got clipit10.zip from, and probably in
the same directory above, though I'm not certain of the archive name.

Pmclip is useless for cutting/pasting from/to something like Lynx,
however.
