You can copy and paste from a Windows command prompt. It's a bit bizarre, but
- In the system menu for a command window, pick Properties
- On the Options tab, turn on Quick Edit mode
- Now you can copy and paste with right-click (!). If you have text selected, right-click will copy,
otherwise paste. It's a bit strange but it works.
I think it's wonderfully ironic that in Windows - which takes such pains to make everything keyboard
accessible - in a *command line* window, which is using keyboard input by its nature - you have to
use the mouse for copy and paste!!
