Hello, Rolf -

I just threw together a DLL module that might work for you:
  http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/1185875_8g0yx/clipboard_1.zip

  Usage:

    require "clipboard"

    -- Retrieve and print the clipboard's contents:
    print(clipboard.text())


    -- Assign a new string to the clipboard:
    clipboard.text("Hello World")


HTH,
- Jeff
