- That's because the clipboard is being exported to OS/2 apps. Go to
- OS/2 System->System Setup->Win-OS2 Setup and set the clipboard to
- "private" or "not exported" or something like that. Note that
- multiple WIN-OS2 sessions will no longer be able to share a clipboard
- or have DDE communication with each other, nor will any such
- communication between WIN-OS2 and OS/2 be possible, but the clipboard
- will be much faster.
