Found the routine I was using on the RiscPC (4.39).  It used
     SYS "ClipboardHolder_Copy" ,0,&FFF,A$,L%
but RiscOS 5 does not (yet) provide that SYS call.
Could it be added?  Would surely be widely useful.

Meanwhile my workaround is to write the string to a scrap file and cause 
it to open as a tiny filer window, from whence file can be dragged to the 
required location.  (Ctrl-V in the Ro4 clipboard routine was neater.)
