Thanks, Allin, sounds very good. (But haven't tested yet.)
In the script editor with yesterday's snapshot on Windows 10 it seems to
work fine.
I cannot test the console because pasting from the system clipboard
doesn't work there -- this is an unrelated problem which I have
mentioned before, I think.
Then I checked the small dialog window that I get under File / Databases
/ Dbnomics / Specific series: Pasting fails there, too - both with
ctrl-v keyboard shortcut or via the context menu (although the paste
entry is active/not greyed out). However, another funny thing happens
there: in the context menu I see an entry "paste Emoji", and this
actually works! (but is useless, of course)
cheers
