[python-win32] Clipboard Documentation

[gw1500]

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the reply. I read about that but was hoping to use pywin32. I 
can see now the folly of that decision.

I have a working minimal test but am looking for something a bit more 
automated. I bring my app window to the top using pywin32 and a line I 
need is already highlighted. I can ctrl-c from the keyboard and 
pyperclip works just fine. However, since the line is already 
highlighted is there a way to get it without user interaction (ctrl-c)?
