Note that if you like copy/paste, you can turn on "Quick Edit" mode in 
your cmd.exe windows.  From that same System menu on your DOS box, 
choose "Defaults".  From the first tab that box, enable "Quick Edit" 
checkbox.   This will change the default for subsequent DOS boxes.  You 
can change it just for the current one by using Properties in the same 
system menu.
