  9. Dear MacAppers:
  10.  
  11. Here is another seemingly simple question whose answer seems to have issed
  12. documentation. I want to cut/copy/paste standard PICTs. The cookbook outlines
  13. the procedure for handling custom clipboards by installing views, but nothing
  14. about the simple case. Can TMyCommand.DoIt call ZeroScrap/PutScrap directly,
  15. and if so, how do I notify the application/clipboard view that the scrap has
  16. been changed? I am looking at TApplication.CheckDeskScrap, but it seems to have
  17. the annoying side effect of calling CommitLastCommand on the command doing the
  18. operation.
