     and other program modules.

     To read a Clip from the Clipboard, set the command to `CLIP_GET'
     and provide an empty Clip.  Bars&Pipes will copy the contents of
     the currently selected Clip in the Clipboard into clip.

     To  copy clip into the Clipboard, set the command to `CLIP_PUT'.
     Bars&Pipes will make a copy of clip and insert the copy in the
     list of Clips in the Clipboard.
