I'm doing a "simple" form using Tk. Things are going well, but I feel a
little lazy, so for once I will ask about this.

Perl/Tk script is running on linux box "host". Users are on windows
boxes "local", running the application via an X server (Hummingbird
Exceed) and the "export DISPLAY" command. . Application is a data entry
form.

What's a good way to allow users to cut from Windows apps and paste into
Entry fields created by Perl/Tk script? I guess I'm asking how to send
clipboard data from local to host.

Maybe the answer is in Chapter 15 of "Mastering Perl/Tk", wherein
binding virtual events are discussed. BUT, in the real world, one must
get things done, and I have other tasks on the job that I have been
neglecting in favor of learning Tk.  I appreciate any assistance, or
pointers to where I might find answers.

Thanks, all.
