Clipboard from Cygwin?

Dear All,
I use NT4 (ServicePack 3) for texty, webby design stuff.
I got Cygwin B20 to work on my system, primarily to help
intelligently batch-process all the html documents I've got to deal with
and amend.
Now that I've got Cygwin configured properly, I think Cygwin's Unix
user tools are absolutely fantastic. Infinitely more useful than NT DOS
at any rate.
The question I have is:
If I have some text (this letter say) in the clipboard and want to
run a shellscript that takes input from the clipboard (and formats it
left-right justified with nroff say), how is that done?
Presumably _one_ way would be to have a Cygwin "clipboard" device
that you redirect from and to. I guess that other people must have
asked this question before, but I can't find "clipboard" (or "clip") in
the FAQ:

With kind regards,
Sandy
