Does R on windows have clipboard support? I can do this on Linux:

 > readLines(file("clipboard"))
[1] "C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-3.0.3"

- that's from a copy of a path with only single slashes in. But
help(connections) on my linux system doesn't mention the Windows
clipboard....

Some ppl on SO have assorted solutions involving Windows scripting tools
that tweak the clipboard so you can Ctrl-V a modified value:
