AJ -- You are, of course, correct. I wanted Gaute to take a look at the actual code and proceed from there. Docfinder is also a useful approach for learning about the system. Gaute -- If you are a frequent reader of this list, you know that AJ's style is to encourage posters to 1) be complete and precise in the questions they post and 2) provide just enough infomration for the poster to discover the answer to his/her post himself. This is an excellent pedagogical strategy but sometimes is frustrating. On Mon, 28 Aug 2006, Andreas Jung wrote:

This is not entirely true. If you look at the code you'll that you might pass None as clipboard object and the method will try to get the value from the REQUEST. But in this case you must pass in the REQUEST as keyword parameter and not as positional argument.
But back to the original discussion API vs. implementation..To quote Dieter: Unlike the API documentation which describes how things should be, the Docfinder documentation describes (at least partially) how they really are: complete and precise :-)
