 Question What ver of Win are you using.  I am not sure if it was in 3.x
 but in 9.x it has worked fine for me though a little tricky till you
 get the hang of it.

 When in the smaller windowed DOSBOX click the BW icon in the upper left
 corner and then highlight EDIT then MARK.  Then highlight what you want
 to copy.  You then must either go back through the process of getting
 to EDIT and hit copy or you can just hit ENTER after getting the
 highlighting done.  It is then in the clipboard so that you can paste
 any place that pasting is allowed.

 I have no Idea on TOCLIP or what it does but I use a utility here
 called Classic Clipboard which I can not live without.  Not sure if it
 has any affect on DOS or not but it saves the last 9 copies or cuts so
 that you can paste any of them when you want.  It also has a way that
 you can store hundreds of clips that you might use regularly.
