+The Scrap\index{Scrap Manager} Manager supports the simplest form of
+cut \&\ paste operations on the Macintosh. It can be use for both
+inter- and intra-application clipboard operations.
+
+The \module{Scrap} module provides low-level access to the functions
+of the Scrap Manager. It contains the following functions:
+
+
+\begin{funcdesc}{InfoScrap}{}
+ Return current information about the scrap. The information is
+ encoded as a tuple containing the fields \code{(\var{size},
+ \var{handle}, \var{count}, \var{state}, \var{path})}.
+
+ \begin{tableii}{l|l}{var}{Field}{Meaning}
+ \lineii{size}{Size of the scrap in bytes.}
+ \lineii{handle}{Resource object representing the scrap.}
+ \lineii{count}{Serial number of the scrap contents.}
+ \lineii{state}{Integer; positive if in memory, \code{0} if on
+ disk, negative if uninitialized.}
+ \lineii{path}{Filename of the scrap when stored on disk.}
