More on clipboard with DOS programs: In Win95, and presumably with NT 4.0,
you can have a windowed DOS session with an action bar at the top. The
action bar includes cut and paste operations. One thing I had to learn the
hard way is that, when you have highlighted something using the Windows
highlighter in a DOS box, you have to press Enter to get the highlighted text
into the clipboard.

Also, there are some aftermarket clipboard enhancers that let you accumulate
text on the clipboard, save it to named files, etc.

A somewhat awkward operation for straight ASCII text can also be effective
enough to be worth it: Highlight the text in good ol' XyWrite and do SAS plus
a filename on the command line. The highlighted stuff ends up in a file by
itself and can be used by Windows programs.

My FAX.PGM program, recently posted, will automatically take highlighted
text, convert it to RTF, and call the Win95 WordPad utility, putting the RTF
file on-screen. From there, you could do the clipboard to your heart's
content.
