I think the first usage is correct - the slice format was changed recently.

However, it appears %save is broken in svn, I'll look into it this
evening at home.

I'll probably add this to Extensions/w32cliputils.py or somesuch,
thanks for the contribution! I figure %clip could also take arguments
like -c (copy), -p (paste), -g (get the contents in string and return
it to be used in var = %clip -g), -s (set the contents from
expression)...
