If you don’t have a DOS mouse driver installed, follow these steps to copy and paste information using DOSCLIP:

In the PC environment, issue the keyboard command Shift-Control-C to activate

DOSCLIP.

A cursor appears in the center of the screen.

Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the cursor to the upper-left corner of the region you want to copy.

Holding down the Shift key, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the lower-right corner of the region.

Release the Shift key.

The selected area is copied to the DOSCLIP “clipboard.”

To paste text into DOS from the Mac OS, do this:

mIssue the keyboard command Shift-Control-V.

Changing the predefined keyboard commands in DOS

The Shift-Control-C (Copy) and Shift-Control-V (Paste) keyboard commands are preset in DOS. However, you can change them if you wish by editing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

mTo change the keyboard command for the Copy command, use this form:

C:\APPLE\DOSCLIP/Cnm…

mTo change the keyboard command for the Paste command, use this form:

C:\APPLE\DOSCLIP/Pnm…

In both cases, you replace n with a number representing a key scan code from the following table, and you replace m… with one or more of the characters A, C, and S (for Alt, Control, and Shift).

For example, the preset keyboard command for Copy is Control-Alt-C, which is coded as /C46CA. In this code, /C means “copy using the following keys”; 46 means “the C key”; C means “the Control key”; and A means “the Alt key.” To change the keyboard command to F3, you’d type the following:

C:\APPLE\DOSCLIP/C61

Note: For on-screen help about other DOSCLIP options, type DOSCLIP /? at the DOS prompt.
