Hello;
I'm a little late on this thread but here is what I use. Several years ago
Dennis Brown wrote a script that will copy anything the Jaws or PC cursor
can get to. It will copy the current character, word, line or window. I
have never had a failure.
If you are comfortable working in your user's default scripts you can find
the script pasted below my signature. Paste it into your users default.jss
file and assign a key stroke to the script.
Watch for possible line wrapping because of the email.

Tom,
In the, there's a million ways to do anything in Windows, category, here
is another way to do what you want.
Once you are in the command prompt, pipe the output of any command to a
file, then you can open the file with notepad, or whatever you want. For
example.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\dr25>dir >> dir.txt
C:\Documents and Settings\dr25>notepad dir.txt
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 864E-9058
Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\dr25
Note that there is a double greater than sign after the command dir and
before the file name dir.txt.
I did use the virtual stuff to cut and paste some of the above. After
going into cmd.exe I typed my command, then hit insert-alt-w then
activated the virtual cursor with numpad plus, then held down the shift
key and moved around, then hit control-c.
Although, I do tend to just pipe to a file because that is often mor
useful for me. Depends on what I need to do with the output.
Hope that helps.
