Copy/Paste text as commands in AIX
Hello, I'm absolutely new to this world... but I've a problem with a terminal connected via PuTTY (or Termlite) to an AIX 5.1 application.
The problem: I need to paste from clipboard a text containing both input text strings and special keys as ESC, Arrows and so on, to execute in the AIX application. I seeked solutions in the web, but I didn't find what I needed.
I think it is some like an "escape sequence", or barely a character, but I tried some of them without results. Hope to find help.
Please excuse-me also for the bad english
(I'm italian)

DwtInquireNextPasteLength(3Dwt) DwtInquireNextPasteLength(3Dwt)
Name
DwtInquireNextPasteLength - Returns the length of the data stored under a specified format name for the next-paste item in the clipboard.
Syntax
int DwtInquireNextPasteLength(display, window,
format_name, length)
Display *display;
Window window;
char *format_name;
unsigned long *length;
Arguments
display Specifies a pointer to the Display structure that was returned in a previous call to XOpenDisplay. For information on XOpenDis-
play and the Display structure, see the Guide to the Xlib Library: C Language Binding.
window Specifies the window ID that relates the application window to the clipboard. The same application instance should pass the same
window ID to each clipboard function that it calls.
format_name
Specifies the name of the format for the next-paste item.
length Specifies the length of the next data item in the specified format. This argument equals zero if no data is found for the speci-
fied format, or if there is no item on the clipboard.
Description
The DwtInquireNextPasteLength function returns the length of the data stored under a specified format name for the next paste clipboard
data item.
If no data is found for the specified format, or if there is no item on the clipboard, DwtInquireNextPasteLength returns a value of zero.
Any format passed by name is assumed to have the length passed in a call to DwtCopyToClipboard, even though the data has not yet been
transferred to the clipboard in that format.
Return Values
This function returns one of these status return constants:
ClipboardSuccess The function is success-
ful.
ClipboardLocked The function failed
because the clipboard was
locked by another appli-
cation. The application
can continue to call the
function with the same
parameters until the
clipboard is unlocked.
Optionally, the applica-
tion can ask if the user
wants to keep trying or
to give up on the opera-
tion.
ClipboardNoData Information could not be
obtained from an applica-
tion using the ICCCM
clipboard selection mech-
anism. This return value
indicates that the data
was not available in the
requested format.
