Cut and Paste

One modern form of interprocess communications is “cut and paste” (which also includes copy and paste). This is used by humans to transfer human-readable or human-viewable items (usually pictures and/or formatted text) between programs or between documents or windows within a single program.

“You can use [Macintosh] TextEdit to implement the standard text editing capability of cutting and pasting via the Clipboard in your application. To allow the use of the Clipboard for cutting and pasting text or graphics between your application and another application or a desk accessory, you need to call the Scrap Manager.” —Inside Macintosh, Volume I, page I-12^b4b
