The approach is, to simulate a copy & paste:

#focus on source window
App("some-identifying-text-from-source-notepad-window").focus()
wait(1)
type('a', KEY_CTRL)
type('c', KEY_CTRL)
# now we have it on the clipboard
# switch to other notepad window
App("some-identifying-text-from-target-notepad-window").focus()
wait(1)
type('v', KEY_CTRL)
wait(1)
# inserts clipboard content at cursor

with these actions, that are not fully under control of Sikuli, you have to insert sufficient waiting times (therefor the wait()'s). It might run without them - just find out.

Can you help with this problem?
