If I try to shift select a longer piece of lisp code into the edit buffer from a tedit window I get a lot of whistles and "garbage"  instances of the s-expr ("TypedCom" . Find) mixed in with what I wanted to go get into the edit buffer.'
'
'
(("TypedCom" . Find) thereis PAIR ("TypedCom" . Find) inpairs (("TypedCom" . Find) fetch PAIRS ("TypedCom" . Find) of FS) ("TypedCom" . Find) suchthat (("TypedCom" . Find) GOVERNABLEP (("TypedCom" . Find) fetch FNAME ("TypedCom" . Find) of PAIR)))'

Sounds like someone is unreading ^F''s. That wont work in DEdit, which has ^F defined as a control character.'
'
Is there someway I can tell you that I only want a clean ASCII stream?'

	If TEdit is unreading ^F''s, it''s because they''re in the document the guy is copying from.  Right now, there''s no way for TEdit to know that someone doesn''t want characters like that--much less which characters are "like that".'
'
	One facet of the IMAGEOBJ proposal was a way for two applications to support inter-application copying.  As I recall, it included having a filter on the incoming end.  None of it, of course, has been implemented; however, the thoughts still exist, as part of <Lispcore>Library>ImageObj.TEdit -- if you''d care to comment on the proposal, I''m sure we can raise its priority (now that we have you as a potential user....)'

Are the ^F''s really in the document or are they TEdit control info?'

If TEdit un-reads them, they''re REALLY in the document -- it doesn''t try to copy formatting info.'
