Just use the keyboard shortcuts for the system menu:

ALT+Space
E
P

Does the paste.

Many thanks. I had to paste a 4-line long command into the shell!
Is there a way to use the keyboard instead?

Just in case it's useful to anyone: I've found a neat program called Tamedos which among other things gives you the option to use ctrl-c and ctrl-v to cut and paste in a Dos window under XP, as well as smoothing out various other aspects. 30 days evaluation. Registration is $20 -- worth it to me. http://tamedos.com

I believe if you type ALT+Space you'll get the system menu, which will allow you to select the entire screen and copy it. (It may take you out of the full screen window.)

This works fine if you're in a command shell window, but what if you're running the dos program full-screen? Is there then a way to copy and paste between the dos program and XP aps? Maybe like winoldap's int 2F under win 9x?

Could you go over that Enable Quick Edit?

I've tried it in a quick edit enabled command prompt, and in a Norton Commander for DOS box, but nothing gets pasted on a right click.

The alt-space-edit-paste routine works as usual.

I must be missing something blindingly obvious!

I ping for a living & I prefer to set my cmd's Properties to Enable Quick Edit which pastes with a simple right mouse click in the window.

Probably the quickest way to get to this menu is to hold down the ALT key, and hit the spacebar. So, for paste, it's ALT+Space, E, P (E for edit menu, P for paste command). If you do it enough, it becomes second nature. :) Especially in a command prompt, the mouse isn't always the quickest method.
