Hello.

Maybe I missed it in help and online. Is there a copy and paste text feature between DOSbox's command line? I was hoping it would be like Windows' cmd.exe method, but nope.

Thank you in advance. 😀

use the search, best search for emendelson.
Because, no, there is no copy/paste officially but he made something work.

Thanks, but I did search with search.php?keywords=copy+paste but didn't see anything answering my question on the first page (excluding my posts and not going through all 23 pages).

😒 The first line of that thread points out that the feature is not needed for the playing of games which is the principal focus of DOSBox, and the second line describes the workaround as "kludgy" and "probably very buggy". Your hopes are baseless.

I am not using DOSbox for gaming. I am using it for DOS text based stuff. And I thought he was adding it to DOSbox officially. That is a bummer. 🙁
