Re: XyDos to Win Clipboard

["Scott A. Nelson" nel@xxxxxxxx]

Yes.. in windows95 you can actually cut and paste directly from a dos window
(not full screen dos) . You can do ALT+ENTER from a full screen dos\Xywrite
session, make sure the dos window you are running has the tool bar enabled
and to the far left you will see a button with a box in it, click on it and
highlight the text with your mouse then click the copy button(next to the
first box you clicked) and paste it in your e mail like this:
