    I've found that some programs act strange when Rhide tries to use the
Windows clipboard.  Pasting from the clipboard into Rhide has always worked
as I expected, but when I copy from Rhide (to the windows clipboard) then
try to paste into Netscape, it gives me the old contents of the clipboard
(before Rhide did anything).  What's really odd is if I use Notepad,
everything works fine.  The only way I've found to copy from Rhide into
Netscape is to copy from Rhide, paste into Notepad, copy from Notepad and
paste into Netscape.  The direct route never works.  Is this something
screwy with Netscape 4 (every other program seems to work fine).  And if it
is a problem with Netscape, how does it get the old contents of the
clipboard?  Doesn't Rhide erase the old clipboard contents?

    I am running Win95 (B).
