When you hilite the text and drag it. Instead of dragging it to its
"destination" drag it to the left or right edge of the screen. It will
put the text (or whatever it is that you copied) into the "clipboard"
Now, you can close Notes, and go to Works, and tap and drag on that
hilited text, and drag it to your final destination. To make it
cooler, you can double-tap and drag, and drag a copy of the text from
the clipboard, leaving the text or whatever still in the clipboard.
And yes, this is universal to the Newton OS.
