Keith: But CBE can do precisely what you want, the way I understand your needs. Since it has an AREXX command set, it'd be short work to write a small AREXX script that would handle any clipboard input/output to and from any other program that can handle AREXX — and to an extent programs with clipboard support that don't handle it, since the info at least could be moved into the clipboard for their internal manipulation. My biggest frustration with most Amiga application implementations of the clipboard was that they don't take advantage of its power. The ability to have a couple hundred clips simultaneously available is extremely useful, and CBE is one of handful of programs that enable that. MachIV and MachV do it, too, though less elegantly, and there are probably others. CBE is the only alternative I'm aware of that directly employs AREXX. I'm sure some other applications have internal clipboard commands in their AREXX set, however.
