Do you activate Quick-Edit mode in your DOS box? Once you have that on,
it's not much of a pain to copy and paste, as long as what you're copying

Yes, it's on. I agree that copying is easy, but if I can't use Ctrl+V,
pasting is a pain. Tell me your secret.

If you right-click on a DOS box without anything selected, then it pastes.
(Asssuming quickedit mode)
For example, you run a command that displays a string, and you want to use
that string as your next command:
left-drag over the desired text.
Right click to copy to clipboard
Right click again to paste into current cursor position
Hey, terrific! Thanks, Dave! I didn't see any help available. Where'd
you learn this?
Dick
I really don't recall where I learned it, but I do remember
approximately when. It was about 1994, with Windows NT version 3.5
