Clipboard size?

Hi Chris,
From ?file:
Clipboard:
...
     When writing to the clipboard, the output is copied to the
     clipboard only when the connection is closed or flushed. There is
     a 32Kb limit on the text to be written to the clipboard. This can
     be raised by using e.g. 'file("clipboard-128")' on NT-based
     versions of Windows, to give 128Kb.

So,
write.table(dm, "clipboard", sep="\t")
Warning message: 
clipboard buffer is full and output lost
write.table(dm, "clipboard-128", sep = "\t")

Cheers,
Rich
Hi all --

   I have a matrix of doubles (roughly 30x80) which I'd like to copy to
the clipboard.  However, as the following shows:

dm = matrix(runif(30 * 80), nrow = 80)
write.table(dm, "clipboard", sep = "\t")
Warning message:
clipboard buffer is full and output lost

   Is there any way to increase the buffer?  Obviously, other programs
don't have the same limitations (i.e., I can copy the same volume of
data from Excel or my text editor and paste it into R without a problem)

-- Chris
