In the old DOS, it was possible to right click on the upper left corner of the DOS screen, and then Edit - Mark and Copy the text from the DOS screen. Then you could paste it into another program.
Is there any way to do something similar in DOSBox?
thanks,

No it wasn't.
I believe he is talking about a command prompt and or an NTVDM window, not real DOS.
You're right.
I was thinking command prompt, and not setting the wayback to the true old school DOS.
Is there any way to do the copy paste text out of the DOSBox output screens?

NTVDM? This feature has been in at least since Windows 3.1.
The problem is the cross-platform and the fact you need to handle key input and there's no menu to call a 'mark' action to begin with.

FUCK "AI"
To the host system the DOSBox screen is not text, it's video so no ability to cut n' paste.
IIRC, there was a patch created that took a different approach somewhere on this forum.
