This applies only for text entries. If files were Ctrl-C'ed, it returns "1".

Same story on my 2 comps. I use:

v3.1.1

XP home 2002 SP1

What could be wrong here?

Looks like this entry in the help file should be updated.

I've made a post to see if the dev team thinks we should update the help file also.

Do we get also the information about the type of entry, text or file list?

Special thanks to the developer team
