[Mozile] Mozile 0.8 Clipboard

	In the last few days I got a new clipboard system up and running for  
Mozile 0.8. Copy operations will change the system clipboard, but Cut  
and Paste operations only have access to a document-local clipboard.
	There might be a way around this limitation in IE using execCommand 
() to access the system clipboard, or parhaps in some other way. The  
execCommand trick could also work in Mozilla when the designMode is  
enabled, but there are generally security restrictions protecting the  
system clipboard from unprivileged scripts. I haven't tried this yet.  
If anyone has idea on better integration with the system clipboard,  
let us know.
	I'm out of town until Tuesday, so I won't be on IRC and won't check  
my email very often.
