XY to DosBox-X to Google Docs: double spaced?

OK, this is odd. 

Using DOSBox-X I save to clipboard (with fn-Shift-Home etc.) and then paste into a Google Doc...and suddenly -- different from XY via VDOSMac --  it is doublespaced, so I have to backspace line by line to pull it together. 

I've been looking through the DOSBOX configuration tool but can't find what to change. I'm sure it's a simple fix. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Thanks to both Carl and Prof. Mendelson for the assistance. 
Sorry to be imprecise about VDOSPlus and Monterey. Since VDOSPlus in Monterey doesn't work with Xywrite, I knew I had to switch to DOSBox-X.
Thanks, Carl and Prof. Mendelson. 
 I'm getting "Command Entry Error" with Carl's new key assignment. But fine, I can habituate to the 3-key grayed-out method if necessary.
Sorry to be imprecise about VDosPlus.  Glad it works with Monterey, but the page says it no longer works with Xywrite, my particular use case. Here's hoping DOSBox-X can withstand the relentless Mac updates.

Jon,

> 47ÿJM2,.,s,a, ,C,L,I,P,$,Q2 but with no success.

Try this:

47ÿBXs,a,d,/,n,v, ,C,L,I,P,$,Q2

Func DZ "closes" the define. Command SAD saves the define to a file.
Switch /NV overwrites any existing CLIP$ without prior confirmation.

You may ned to prepend a "d:\path\" to CLIP$ for this to work. I'm not
sure where DOSBox-X looks for CLIP$, Perhaps in Z:\ ??

1. vDosMac works perfectly under Monterey. You may need the current version:

Check the spelling. It should work.

If anyone has XY3+ files Long and Short HLP (unmodified), I’d be very thankful if you could send it to me in an email. Thank you very much.

All the best,
