paste

Pastes the current contents of the clipboard into the editor.

The system may execute a paste (in response to other method calls) without calling this method. To extend or re-implement copying, override the do-paste in text% or do-paste in pasteboard% method of an editor.

• (send a-text paste time start end) -> void
      time : exact integer
      start : exact non-negative integer or 'end
      end = 'same : exact non-negative integer or 'same

  Pastes into the specified range. If start is 'end, then the current selection end position is used. If end is 'same, then start is used for end.

  See Cut and Paste for a discussion of the time argument. If time is outside the platform-specific range of times, an exn:application:mismatch exception is raised.
