At present, this is not possible under either UNIX/X or MSWindows Icon.
Copying clipboard text into an Icon program sounds do-able, but it raises
several questions for which we have not yet attempted a solution: achieving
Icon's monumental source code portability across window systems, preserving
fonts and colors, copying images and not just text...
Perhaps a minimal solution would be better than no solution.
