    Subject: copy-paste

In a Java 1.1 applet, using the Sun JDK, you can do cut-copy-paste
between Java AWT objects like TextArea and TextField, and other
programs. This works on Windows and Solaris, and works with
either the right-mouse-button menu or with the ^c^v^x keys,
without the applet being signed.

Microsoft Java throws a SecurityException sometimes, not always,
when a user clicks the ^c^v^x keys in an applet.

Philosophically, what do you think, is it a good thing to let
applets read and write the system clipboard? Thanks,
