in thread Thankful programmer

For pasting text into a Command Window under Windows, I enable in Properties/Options the checkboxes for Quick Edit. Pasting works then by using the left (i.e. secondary) mouse button.

If you don't want to enable Quick Edit, you can always post into a command window by clicking on the icon in the top left corner of the window, then Edit/Insert.

HTH. I'm not sure whether I named the menu entries in the write way. I'm using a German version of Windows, so I had to do some guessing on the English menu names.
