After which, you can dispense with the menus (except when pasting),
just select the text and hit <enter>.
To paste into a DOS box, once Quick Edit is enabled, use Right-Click.
They keystrokes will be sent to the command editor. Note that the
interpretation is rather literal, so be careful if copy/pasting more
than one line, or a line that was wrapped.
Well I'll be dipped. Didn't know you could do that.
Of course, since I learned how to call programs from the
script and capture their StdOut, I don't have much call for
cut/paste from dos windows. Hopefully, I'll remember that the
next time I need it.
As long as we're in Quick Edit mode, another trick is that you can
double-click on a "word" in a DOS box to select it and copy to
clipboard. Obviously it isn't always the exact string you want, but
sometimes it beats dragging the mouse over the text.
