(hollow laugh)              Under Win98 (possibly others) you can select to have the toolbar       displayed on DOS prompt windows, and on that is displayed a "Mark" button       (a dotted rectangle). Clicking that will allow you to click/drag over your       text (you can't otherwise), then you can Ctrl-C or use the cut / copy       buttons on the toolbar to get the text into the Windows clipboard - from       whence it can be pasted into Windows apps.              B.       --       /* Halley */ <--- Halley's Comment              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
