What happens if you paste into a DOS box (using the toolbar)?

What format does RHIDE use to put text into the clipboard? Is it
CF_TEXT or CF_OEMTEXT? I have found that OEMTEXT is the better way;
TEXT caused some weird behavior with DJGPP-compiled Emacs. The
problems I saw were different from what's described above, but I think
switching to OEMTEXT is a good idea anyhow.
