Wouldn't it be nifty to copy and paste objects between windows or even apps?   
This could easily be done using the Objective-C's built-in archiving  
capabilities.  To copy, just archive the object onto the Pasteboard.  To paste,  
unarchive it.  (Multiple objects can be placed into a List for transfer.)

However, to make this work between apps there would need to be a standardized  
Pasteboard type registered with NeXT and included in the appkit header files.   
Anyone know how I could register an NXObjectPBoard type with NeXT?
