I like this approach; at least I understand it.

Two questions:
First, my strings usually do not have line-ends (CR-LF's). Is there some way to make the thing wrap (a la editbox)?

Second, Ctrl-W complains about "unrecognized command verb" (compiling, presumably). Can I temporarily turn this off? (I hate to ignore each time ...)

The nice thing about this is that I have the tmp.prg on disk when I exit the app, and anything I fixed there is reusable for fixing the code from which it came. Maybe a bit more typing than clipboard way, maybe not - YMMV.
