DOS mouse driver installed, follow these instructions:

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.
