So I guess you are on Windows?

There is no option to do this.  We have thought about it (one could use
sink and make a `clipboard' connection) but the clipboard is not really a
standard device across versions of Windows (especially between 16-bit
versions and NT-based versions).  It looked to me too much like
trial-and-error.

It's something a Windows programmer could contribute to R, I guess.
