rtf Txt

[Frank D. Engel, Jr.]

And of course this creates numerous race conditions, whereby if the 
user happens to try accessing the clipboard from another app while this 
is going on, the results of one of the operations (either the operation 
being performed by the handler, or the one being performed by the other 
app) will be incorrect (or at least quite unexpected):

>  put the clipboardData into myVar
-- user pastes into the clipboard from another app here, we now restore 
the wrong data at the end of this code block
>   put URL ("file:" & pathtoRtfText) into txvariable
-- same is true here
>   set the clipboardData["rtf"] to txvariable
>   put the clipboardData["text"] into txvariable
>   set the clipboardData to myVar

>  put the clipboardData into myVar
>   put URL ("file:" & pathtoRtfText) into txvariable
>   set the clipboardData["rtf"] to txvariable
-- user pastes into the clipboard from another app here, the results of 
this code block are now wrong

>   set the clipboardData to myVar
