- Microsoft QuickBASIC Compiler for the Apple Macintosh 1.0

This article was previously published under Q67377 SUMMARY
When reading from the "CLIP:" clipboard device in QuickBASIC for the
Apple Macintosh, any tab characters in the clipboard will be converted
to commas. This is not a problem in QuickBASIC but a feature that
allows the easy transfer of data from word processors, spreadsheets,
and other applications that use the tab character to separate data
elements. To read the text exactly as it was cut or copied into the
clipboard, open the "CLIP:TEXT" device instead.
This information applies to QuickBASIC for the Apple Macintosh
versions 1.00, 1.00a, and 1.00b.
