   Does anyone know how to copy text to the Windows clipboard from
inside Harlequin Lispworks for Windows?  I've got hold of some Windows
3.1 text-to-speech software that can only get its text from this
clipboard.

  To clarify,  I am asking for a function that can be called to place a
text string on the Windows clipboard.  It is of course easy to do this
manually.

The easiest way to do this is to use a C function in a DLL and call it by
FLI.

   I just received an answer to this question from Brigitte Bovy at
Harlequin support.  Here is the incantation:

(capi:set-clipboard (capi:convert-to-screen nil) 
                    "AI lives!")

which places a string in the second argument, here "AI lives!", on the
Windows clipboard.  It works.  The required first argument is a capi
pane, which can be faked by the convert-to-screen call.
