execCommand is IE/Win only I think (unless you want to use it in an
editable iframe where Mozilla since 1.4 supports it too) so it is not
Macintosh that is the problem but simply it depends on whether the
browser supports the API document.execCommand.

I don't think any browser but IE/Win supports execCommand and I doubt
any browser besides IE/Win does expose the clipboard to unprivileged
script. I am pretty sure neither Opera nor Mozilla provide clipboard
access, I only know about the Windows versions but as both produce
cross-platform browsers I don't think their Mac versions differ.
