Actually, a reasonable way to accumulate exists already: Use an editor DA.  I
use the FreeWare DA "McSink" that was posted to the net a while back.  It also
can be had from:

          Signature Software
          2151 Brown Ave.
          Bensalem, PA. 19020
          215-639-8764

Unfortunately, this looses Word Processor Text formating.  The other way to
play these games is with a good Scrapbook replacement.  I use SmartScrap, 
which I got quite cheap (I forget how much) from MacConnection.

The "multi-copies paste" idea is a good one though.
