How do you set the clipboard to empty.  Don't ask why because
I really have no reason except I am curious if it can be done.  If
I use the script below it will empty the clipboard from viewable
contents but it will not set the clipboard to empty.  So when I
use the clipboard function it will not return empty even though
I can't see anything after putting nothing on the clipboard.

   set the clipboardData to ""
   put the clipboard into clipInfo
   ask "Clipboard" with clipInfo
