By the time the screen is displayed the 3270 commands are likely replaced by spaces in a fixed width font so copying text shouldn't be a problem.

Vista does this very well. I don't remember any issues using PCOM either. It's more complicated if you want to keep the colors, and I don't recall an emulator that does that.

Pasting is more complicated in that there are areas you can't write to. That's more a design issue though - how you handle multiple lines, do you wrap etc.
