OK, I feel a bit silly now. The exact functionality I require is built
into IDL! I presume I just have to make sure that my draw widget is
the current window, and then Ctrl-C causes the contents of that Window
to be copied to the clipboard. Somehow I think I'd got into the habit
of thinking that things in IDL are usually a bit harder than that...
