you would have to come up with a formate for the values of the linked list. Then write the values in that formate to the clip board and have the program which reads those values recreate the linked list based on the knowledge of that formate.

linked list

(1)Matt -> (2) Timmy -> (3) Jimmy - (4) Bluto

could be placed into the clip board like this..

Matt;Timmy;Jimmy;Bluto;

Get it?

The clipboard seems to be a bad way to do this, since that is something that is easily destroyed by the user. Why not use a data file at a predetermined location to store common data?
