This worked spendidly - thanks.
I guess I should spend more time methodically touring all the options
on many more Windows configuration dialog pages with the "?" button!

Yes, I've been using 50 lines already.

I also checked off "QuickEdit" in the "Mouse" area
of the "Misc" dialog box page. It saves one from having
to click the "Mark" button on the DOS box window. Had
I designed the page, I'd have grouped "Other/Fast pasting"
with the two options of "Mouse".
