It is possible for GUI to accept text from a "Clipboard". Note the quotation marks.

This would mean creating your own clipboard for the programme:
(summthin like this:)
code:

var clips:string := ""
var ch : array char of boolean

loop
Input.KeyDown (ch)
% Here you would have the GUI.TextFields going.
if ch('^C') then
clips := GUI.GetText (textField)
end if

if ch('^V') then
GUI.SetText (textField, clips)
end if

end loop



That code is not perfect, may be buggy, but you get the idea. There are probably better ways to do it, such as determining selection and such, but that is the basic idea.

Hmm...ever heard of dirty commands? That could work.

Just need to find the space in RAM where the clipboard stores stuff...and Bob's your uncle...well, Bob's your robber, really.

Sorry, a very few and select number of ppl would get the full meaning of that joke...
