K95 doesn't have a \v(clipboard) variable that you can refer to
programmatically, but there is a keyboard verb, \Kpaste, that pastes from
the clipoard. By default, this is assigned to Shift-Insert:
. If K95 is in its terminal screen, then \Kpaste sends the clipboard
contents to the host (if the clipboard contains text).
. If K95 is in its command screen, \Kpaste inserts the text from the
clipboard where the cursor is.
Of course, if you have Notepad or other text editor open, you can also paste
into it. But these are all manual operations. Offhand, I can't think of a
way to write the clipboard contents directly into a file. Perhaps in the
next release we can consider adding a \v(clipboard) variable.

Maybe there is a way do this after all. The file interface
(FOPEN/FREAD/FWRITE/FCLOSE) has a lot of options. If can describe the
problem in more detail maybe I can suggest a way around it.
