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

1

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

A cursor appears in the center of the screen.

2

Use the arrow keys on the keyboard 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 DOSCLIP “clipboard.”

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

Issue 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.
m

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

C:\APPLE\DOSCLIP/C

nm…

m

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

C:\APPLE\DOSCLIP/P

nm…

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.
