I'd bet the problem has to do with your copying to the clipboard
from a DOS window. Instead, try copying from a Windows window. In
other words, DeFine and SAve your ENCODEd output as a .TXT file
(command SAD filename.txt), open that file in Notepad or another
Windows text editor, and copy the contents to the clipboard from
there. That should do it.

You can automate the Xy-to-Notepad sequence above with an XPL
routine like the following (of course, edit the path to NOTEPAD.EXE
as required):

XPLeNCODE v2.0
b-gin [UNTITLED]
;*; Open current file or DF block in Notepad [CLD][cr|lf];*;{032}
Edit path to NOTEPAD.EXE below[cr|lf][XH_][BX_]es 1[Q2_]{<}SX
