Thanks, Kay, but don't bother submitting an entry... I added your recipe and
my results to 2602 on Bill Marriott's suggestion.

However as I was adding it, I thought of something: suppose the act of
putting the text of the file via Automator sets it to be a special *type* of
clipboarddata that Rev doesn't understand? If so, it would then make sense
that it couldn't be pasted, and also why 'the clipboard' was 'empty'
(although I would suggest (if this is actually true) that this be changed to
'unknown'). The reason I mention is is that if I manually copy the text from
TextEdit and switch to Rev, it is in the clipboard.

Anyway, something for RunRev to ponder...
