  Cut and Paste from a normal window and a DOS window is awkward, but it
  can be done.

  First, get the info from notepad etc. using the usual tools (edit menu
  for cut or copy, highlight and CTRL-X or CTRL-C).  Then look in the
  upper left corner of your BlueWave window while you are in TSE-JR.
  You will notice a little tiny icon that contains c:\ or something like
  that in front of the words BWAVE (or whatever you called the shortcut
  that starts BlueWave).  Put your cursor where you want the new text to
  go.  Click on that icon.  Notice that like magic, a menu window opens
  up.  Scroll the cursor down to the EDIT item, then over to the right
  and then down to the PASTE item.  Click on PASTE and loo and behold,
  your text is pasted into your TSE-JR edit session.   You will not get
  any special fonts. Also line feeds etc. may be messed up, but that can
  be corrected by reformatting the paragraph (ALT-B in my editor setup).

  Going the other direction is also possible, that involves using the
  same menu, the mark item (which takes some getting used to) and then
  copy to the windows clip board.
