Clipboard in version 4.0

[Jonathan Lynch]

Thanks J,

Unfortunately, I have tried using different elements of the clipboard array
already. When I copy the webpage in question (GPHIN, a restricted-access
site), it returns empty on all elements of the clipboardarray in 4.0, but
works fine in 2.6.1.

Also, for the second problem I listed, the clipboard["text"] element returns
html text in 4.0, but works propertly 2.6.1 - this occurs when copying
certain eurekalert pages.
