   /* find out which field has been clicked on */
   put word 2 of the clickField into theFieldNo
   
   switch pItemName
      case "Paste"
         /* check that the clipBoard is holding text */
         if the clipboard is "text" then 
            /* put the text after whatever is already in the field */
            put the clipboarddata after fld theFieldNo
         else
            /* if there was no text in the clipBoardData then beep */
            beep
         end if
