How to clear clipboard
Is there a command to empty the clipboard? I am using a text expander program that also uses the clipboard and want a way to clear the clipboard before MS uses it. Also, how much wait time is typically required for clipboard operations? It feels sluggish compared to other functions.

Re: How to clear clipboard
You can't really "clear" the clipboard but you could put an empty string on it. Like this:
PutClipBoard>
Or for readability:
PutClipBoard>{""}

Re: How to clear clipboard
Normally what I do is I GetClipBoard to a variable to save what was there first.
Do what I need with the script etc and when finish PutClipboard to put back what was there previously.
It's good scripting and you can save it as a SubRoutine etc and save it in your code snippets to make it easier to include in all your scripts etc.
But yes to clear it, do as what Marcus suggested.
