It might be helpful to add to the documentation for the SELECT function that the data can come not only from COM: and CLIP: but also from the other CLIP and TMP memory areas. This was true already with at least version 35, but it was not added to the documentation.
The WhatsNew states:
This is not described in the documentation and does not appear to be true. It's not clear how the output file can be a pseudo-device since only one output file name is optionally provided. Here's what happens when I try to specify TMP9: as the input file.
No junk.txt files were created (and none were present before the command was run).
If a real file is specified as the input, then the output files are created.
The WhatsNew states:
/input - Now supports CLIPn: and TMPn: pseudo-devices.
/output - Now supports CLIPn: and TMPn: pseudo-devices.
