| Discussion: |
This mnemonic, which is used with the system driver (X00),
determines if the Windows clipboard contains data.

| History: | This mnemonic was added in REL 01.05 and requires Build 292 or higher. | ||||
| Example 1: |
This program opens the system driver and queries the Windows clipboard.
If the clipboard does not contain data, the program loops repeatedly
(or until the user presses the F3 key). During this loop process, if
another application places data on the clipboard,
this program breaks out of the loop, copies the
contents of the clipboard to the RESULT$
variable and displays the value of RESULT$.
