Dear all,
I am trying to use the clipboard when writing a table.
Typing:

write.table(object, file="clipboard")

leads to the message:

Fehler in file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) :
	'mode' f?r die Zwischenablage muss unter Unix 'r' sein

My interpretation is that I am not allowed to write into the
clipboard from a program called from R. Is there a way to
change this behaviour?
