I think you have duplicated it. In Splus 2000 and in the documentation
for Splus 6 the append = TRUE should not work (and doesn't in 2000). A
new write to the clipboard overwrites anything there. In your first
example you have the double copy happening. If you change append to
FALSE you will get the same result, if you run the two write.table
commands successively without pasting.
Best regards,
Michael

Michael,
I'm also using S-PLUS 6.2 on Win2K. I cannot duplicate your error:
> x <- data.frame(A=1:2,B=1:2)

A B
1 1 1
2 2 2

> write.table(x, "clipboard", sep = ",", append = TRUE)
> # now paste
row.names,A,B
1,1,1
2,2,2
row.names,A,B
1,1,1
2,2,2
> write.table(x, "clipboard", sep = ",")
> # now paste
row.names,A,B
1,1,1
2,2,2
> write.table(x, "clipboard", sep = ",")
> # now paste
row.names,A,B
1,1,1
2,2,2
