For the benefit of the lurkers, we should note that OS/2 Warp 4 has
improved even further upon this, as it is now possible to mark text in a
windowed session (OS/2 or DOS) by simply swiping the mouse. There is
also a pop-up menu that appears when the left mouse button is pressed,
with the "Cut/Copy/Paste/&c." options on it.
This new behaviour can, of course, be turned off for DOS applications
that need to use the mouse.
