hi,

I'm a new dos user so this is probably a very BASIC question. I have run some dos commands that I want to copy and paste into a notepad or word doc so that I can keep the example. Can you tell me how to do this please.

thanks.With my dos which may be different to your dos, I highlight the text then right click to copy & paste on the dos screen.Hi,

thanks for your reply. That doesn't appear to work on my version unfortunately. It will allow me to drag the cursor over the lines I want to copy and this appears to highlight everything white but as soon as I right click it is no longer highlighted and does not give me any options.

thanks anyway.And what is the mystery version of DOS? Or is it command prompt for some type of Windows? (They are not the same, by the way?)If this is win9x and you are using the msdos prompt from WITHIN windows, at the top of the dos BOX are icons for MARK and copy. Use the mark icon and then select what you want to copy. DO NOT right click. Use the copy icon at the top. Now open notepad, and right click in the notepad window. Select paste and voila!Quote
