This is definitely possible.  I sent the keystrokes to the window to do it -
there might be (and probably is) a better way.

1) Create a new bar by clicking on NewList in the Command Lists tab of the
Config dialog box.  Give it any name, say "DOS Box Cmds".  Select OK.
2) Check "Auto Show as bar".
3) Select Properties and change the position value to "Right Caption"
4) In the Entry list, click the Add button.  I used a Name value of 'Icons';
you can use whatever you like.  In the "left" tab, put *Format as the
command, "Context" in the "Format command" edit box, and "=cmd" in the third
edit box.  Select OK.
5) In the Entry list, select Add after".  Enter "Paste" as the name. Use
*Keys for the Command, and then "% ep" (without the quotes).  Hit OK  
6) Repeat step 5, making changes to the Keys command for copy (y) and then
for mark (k)
7) Hit Apply or OK on the Config window

Run cmd.exe.  You should see in the title bar three buttons, Labeled Copy,
Paste, and Mark.  You can dress it up by adding icons and/or hiding the name
value or whatever, but that'll get you the basic steps.  Clicking on those
will run the *Keys command, and should be the equivalent of hitting
Alt-space, e, (p/y/k) yourself.

PowerPro can attach a bar to any window that can be specified by a caption,
a window handle, or a executable name.  In the above steps, I used the
executable name (=cmd).

For more info on the above steps, see the help for the *Bar and *Keys.

HTH,
Paul
