My Notepad Style Project

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonjour Heather,

Welcome to the list :-)

First you have to check the clipboard contents to accept text only:
if the clipboard is "text" then...
Then use the clipboardData["text"] that is unformatted text:
put the clipboardData["text"] into fld < Edit field>

To handle the paste shortcut:

on commandKeyDown pKey
   if pKey = "v" then...
   else pass commandKeyDown
end commandKeyDown

You can use the pasteKey message also but it will work in a  
standalone only.
Last but not least, you'll have to struggle with the selectedChunk to  
paste at the right place or replace some selected text.
Good luck :-)
