 You can use clipstr with a matrix that has more than one row. If you continue the example above by entering
     x = { " one", " four" }
     x
 O-Matrix will respond
     { ...
     " one ", ...
     " four" ...
     }
 If you then enter
     x = clipstr(x)
     x
 O-Matrix will respond
     { ...
     " one", ...
     "four" ...
     }
 You can return O-Matrix to its default printing mode by entering the command
     setprint("continue", false)
