To capture text or a PICT file from a region on the screen if you don’t have a
DOS mouse driver installed, follow these instructions:

1

Activate DOSCLIP.

The DOSCLIP activation keystroke is preset to Shift-Control-C.

A cursor appears in the center of the screen.

2

Use the keyboard arrow keys to move the cursor to the upper-left corner of the region

you want to copy.

3

Holding down the Shift key, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the lower-right

corner of the region.

4

Release the Shift key.

The selected area is copied to the Clipboard.

m

You can paste text into DOS from the Mac OS. The preset keystroke is
Shift-Control-V.

Changing the predefined keystrokes in DOS

You change the preset keystrokes for copying and pasting by editing the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

m

To change the keystroke for the Copy command, use the form

C:\APPLE\DOSCLIP/C

nm…

m

To change the keystroke for the Paste command, use the form

C:\APPLE\DOSCLIP/P

nm…

In both cases, n is a number representing a key scan code from the following
table, and m… is one or more of the characters A, C, and S (for Alt, Control,
and Left- or Right-shift).

For example, the preset code for Copy is

/C46CA

—/C[opy using the key] 46

[which is C, plus the] C[ontrol key plus the] A[lt key]. To change the
keystroke to F3, you’d type the following:

C:\APPLE\DOSCLIP/C61

Note: To get on-screen help about other DOSCLIP options, type

DOSCLIP /?

at the DOS prompt.
