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. CA> TOCLIP using redirection to send text to/from the clipboard CA> from DOS is the more useful option really. The DOS toolbar CA> 'mark' and 'cut' isn't as handy. TOCLIP is another third party CA> utility for Windows/DOS use. DC> Nothing like making it easy.... Can I find TOCLIP on the net? 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. ... Ben ...
