In Win98 I was able to open a DOS Window, select a block of text and copy it to the Clip Board and then paste into Wordpad, Notepad or whatever.

There does not appear to be any text Selection ot Text Copy tools in the XP Dos Window.

Any Suggestions on how to capture the XP DOS Window and paste into WordPad/NotePad??
 
I don't know if the Home version differs from the Professional version in this respect, but with the Pro version you can just select the block of text and right click with the mouse to copy text to the clipboard.

Right-clicking in the top left corner of the window brings up a menu, if you find that doesn't work.

I hope this helps
 
Thanks... It's there on Hone Edition but you have to Right Click in upper left corner as you said then select EDIT and MARK.

Thanks again.
