Problems with copy text

[Bill Vlahos]

Thanks Klaus. That did it.

I modified the script to be able to do multiple lines.

     put empty into tCopy -- initialize tCopy
     repeat for each item tItem in (the hilitedLines of fld "Directory")
       put line tItem of field "Directory" & return after tCopy
     end repeat
     set clipboarddata["text"] to tCopy
