(Copy to Clipboard)

Mnemonic: (Copy to Clipboard)
Discussion: This mnemonic, which is used with the system driver (X00), copies program data to the Windows clipboard. This mnemonic is issued via a PRINT statement (see examples below).

This mnemonic returns a result string, so it is necessary to issue an INPUT statement following the PRINT statement. However, since this mnemonic should never fail, the result string will not contain any meaningful data.
