[Jprogramming] Clipboard in J701

[Mike Day]

When running jconsole in J701 under Windows
Vista I find that require'gtk' doesn't work.

It seems to need a fuller path,
require'~addons\gui\gtk\gtk.ijs'

After fixing this, & running jconsole from a Windows
batch file,  the clipboard appears to be empty after
calling clipwrite on a non-empty array.

NB. eg clipping a boxed vector
    3{.OUT
+-------+-------+------+
|1200.00|1843.00|408.38|
+-------+-------+------+
    clipwrite OUT
127

NB. or a character string
     ":;".each 3{.OUT
1200 1843 408.38
    clipwrite  ":;".each 3{.OUT
16

I have clipped these from the jconsole session,
but I can't of course clip the apparently empty
clipboard contents!

Thanks for any help, and usual apologies for
missing the obvious,  my mistakes etc ....

Mike
