[Zope] Clipboard functionality in my app

Hi Dieter,

Thanks for your advice.

Yes, that is what you would suppose. However, the action of the form
points to the object it self, not to the manage method. It calls the
manage method nevertheless.
I suppose I could redo the cut/paste/copy stuff in python, but just placing
<input class="form-element" type="submit" name="manage_cutObjects:method"
value="Knip" />
is so much easier.

Do you happed to know which cookie should contain what?
