>>>Thank you. Actually, I've applied two tests. One is from the command window to display len( _ClipText). The other is to paste the clipboard contents into an external (non-VFP) application or, as I believe you have suggested, another VFP editor window.

and than issue ? _cliptext it displays consistently

ENDDEFINEenu1.mpredObject.RightClic

This is more the matter of how ? command prints on the screen: the first one will print b's over the A's (not really covering the last hidden A), while the other will print in two lines. Including only LF without a CR will produce a staircase.

Thanks Dragan. I didn't know about CRs only in the method code.
