I refer you to 
http://www.microsoft.com/enable/products/keyboard/keyboardresults.asp?Product=2 
which clearly shows SHIFT+INSERT (search for that) as a standard way to 
paste (as well as CTRL+V). That MS-DOS may have also supported that is 
irrelevant really.

Interestingly though MS lists keyboard short cuts for the various 
flavors of Windows - 98, 2000, XP, 2003. Some list SHIFT+INSERT as paste 
right along side of CTRL+V (98, 2000), some don't list it at all (XP) 
and 2003 lists them separately. In practice however CTRL+V == 
SHIFT-INSERT. YMMV.

And, most importantly to the OP, SHIFT-INSERT works with rxvt.
