For RO5 you can use the Clipboard module. It's currently not available
from the ROOL website but there is a copy in !MiniTime.

The code to use it should be something like this:

  String$ = "Test global clipboard"
  Length% = LEN(String$)
  Leafname$ = "TestClip"

  SYS "XClipboard_Put",0,&FFF,String$,Length%,Leafname$,0 TO ;Flags%
  IF ((Flags% AND 1) = 1) THEN
    SYS "XClipboardHolder_Copy",0,&FFF,String$,Length%
  ENDIF

You'll also need to make sure that the Clipboard module is loaded when
ClipboardHolder is absent. Either in the BASIC program or an Obey file.
