Or, you could just use MS-DOS's EDIT.COM or the several hundred editors that exist for DOS

Like this: http://www.freedos.org/software/?prog=edit
or these: http://www.bttr-software.de/freesoft/txtedit1.htm

Is it possible to paste clipboard text into DOSbox? I was trying to do this yesterday but couldn't figure out how.

Given DosBox's gaming-oriented nature, I doubt an editor will become a standard part of it anytime soon, but edit.com from an old DOS install or startup disc will probably work just fine.
