Well, a limited form of cross-application copy-paste via clipboard or DDE
would be a good addition to Windows. I would not expect it very soon; we
are trying not to add any such bona-fide new language features, so that the
graphics book can be completed.
As an aside, the X selection mechanism provides a similar capability, for
which I have an Icon interface consisting of an attribute from which plain
text can be read (pasted from) or written (copied to). So it can be portable.
