[jed-users] Re: Clipboard problem

[Morten Bo Johansen <mbj@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sorry, testing before writing is always a good idea. The problem is real
enough, though. In an scratch buffer, just insert:

   local_setkey("insert\(\"\(\)\"\)", "(");

and do 
 
    alt-x evalbuffer

and then the rest of the routine.
