Hi Ed
You can access the Windows clipboard under Cygwin.
I ran R within Cygwin.
I was able to use read.table (file="clipboard") for both plain text and
Excel tables.

Note that when copying plain text you may need to include a final
newline character.
The X11() message is suspicious.
I'm wondering what type of object you're trying to copy...?
I think Ed was running the Cygwin build of R. Cygwin can run the
Windows build of R, and it sounds as though that's what you did (and
what Ed should do.)
