You'll need to use a keyboard hook, or some other approach to trap
keystrokes globally, or get even trickier and monitor API calls. Not
stuff you probably want to do from REBOL (and some things you won't be
able to do at all from REBOL). If you just wanted to watch for things
going *into* the clipboard, that might not be so bad.
