READ_CLIPBOARD

 Reads string-formatted data from the clipboard.  Copies the data into the
 current VAXTPU buffer at the editing point, using the buffer's current
 text mode (INSERT or OVERSTRIKE).

 Syntax

    [range | unspecified] := READ_CLIPBOARD

 Parameters

    range                A range containing the text copied into the
                         current buffer.

    UNSPECIFIED          A data type indicating that no data was obtained
                         from the clipboard.

 Comments

    If VAXTPU finds a line-feed character in the data, it removes the line
    feed and any adjacent carriage returns and puts the data after the line
    feed on the next line of the buffer.  If VAXTPU must truncate the data
    from the clipboard, VAXTPU copies the truncated text into the current
    buffer.

    All text read from the clipboard is copied into the buffer starting at
    the editing point.  If VAXTPU must start a new line to fit all the text
    into the buffer, the new line starts at column 1, even if the current
    left margin is not set at column 1.

 Example

    The following statement copies the contents of the clipboard into the
    current buffer:

    READ_CLIPBOARD;
