clipboard

[FMoyer at aol.com]

Can anyone explain the following:   

Using Mac OS9:
    If you copy some text in a Metacard stack and while Metacard is still 
running, go into another application and paste, the text pastes.
    But if you copy some text in a Metacard stack, quit Metacard, then go 
into another application and paste, paste does not work.

In Revolution, if you do the same thing, paste works in both cases.

It seems Metacard empties the clipboard when it quits. Is this a bug? Is 
there a workaround?

Thanks
