If I'm understanding the doc string correctly, there would be nothing to do 
under NS since clipboard is always used when explicitly cutting/copying text on 
NS (like Windows).  Probably the doc could be improved to clarify that NS and 
Windows are similar here (though NS *does* have a primary as I mentioned 
before).
