From within a program, is there a way of loading a specified string onto 
the clipboard?

It used to be possible in Ro4.39 but the routine I had there does not work 
in Ro5.

I'd want to do this from within Basic or a Datapower script, or perhaps a 
PHP script.

The intention is that the user can then use Ctrl-V to paste the string 
into a dialogue field of some other application.  For example, generate an 
address to paste onto a envelope for printing, or generate an email 
address to paste into the email client.
