Telnet - Copying and pasting?

[Bishop]

is it possible to copy and paste stuff from, say, a telnet session?


e.g. can you copy and paste from a DOS box?

Yes.
You usually just highlight the text and right click to copy it to the clipboard.

Procedure is slightly different for a dos box.

What you need to do is with the dos window open with the tel session is left click on the c prompt icon in the top left, select edit, then mark then drag the cursor over the text so it highlights in white.

Then left click on the c prompt icon in the top left again and select copy.

Then wherever you want to paste it to right click and select paste.

Just to add to this.... when you have highlighted the text, pressing enter will copy it as well
