I don't think it's a problem with Netscape only, I guess it has
something to do with ANSI text vs. OEM text. RHIDE seems to copy the
text only in the ANSI format into the clipboard, but not in the OEM
format. You can see this in the standard clipbrd.exe (at least I can on
Win95b/OSR2.5(1214b)). The OEM text remains the same, no matter how much
you copy from within RHIDE. Since other applications don't know if they
should paste the ANSI text or the OEM text (maybe it's a matter of the
chosen font), some of them get it right and some don't. RHIDE doesn't
convert the DOS/OEM characters above 127 into ANSI, so using OEM text
(DX=7 in Int2Fh/1703h) would be a better choice anyways.
Maybe you can use Empty Clipboard (Int2Fh/1702h) before copying the OEM
text, to make sure that the old ANSI text contents are cleared.
