Adding core utils back on CC. Yes. I tried that program before contacting
you... I did a pwd in my terminal, then tried to do a ctr+v into another
window and the clipboard still had older data. . .

&gt; Thanks for your help here. I know exactly what I want, a very simple<br>
&gt; application which copies the output into the clipboard... for example, say<br>
&gt; my program is called bordpst... then if I did this:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; pwd &gt; bordpst<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; then, I went into my GUI and pressed ctrl + v, I would paste the directly I<br>
&gt; was in from above. I couldn&#39;t find anything like this. Maybe I didn&#39;t \

<br>
</div>Sounds like you want to reinvent xclip.<br>
<br>
pwd | xclip<br>
<br>
then you can ctrl-v that output into anything that understands how to<br>
read the X clipboard.  But that&#39;s a much more complex program than one<br>
of the GNU Coreutils, since it involves interactions with X11 code.<br>
