Subject: Using system clipboard on Win-95

It seems that any attempt to access the system clipboard via the
Toolkit getSystemClipboard() call get a security exception even if the

code is a local applet.

This happens for either the appletviewer or Netscape. How does one
overcome this problem?

Thanks much.
