Hi,
I would like to create an Alias to Paste from a previous Clipboard - how can I invoke Control-V to get to the Paste menu at the beginning of the Alias string?

Thanks - I tried 122^S7^S9 and it takes me to Overshoots. Any other thoughts?

Mark,
I am not sure how to use 197# - I tried it this way: 197#^S7^S9 and that still takes me to Overshoots.

Your Alias sequence has to begin with a carat [^].
This should bring up the Paste menu.
[S9] is Clipboards.

Awesome!
By the way, before I hover over a Clipboard, I see the current hatch pattern name and scale in the preview dialog. This only happens the first time I use the Alias.
