Depending on how it was spawned, you can either right-click in the window
and choose Mark/Paste (when marking, use <enter> to terminate the selection;
and selections are blockwise rectangular rather than linewise or
characterwise). Alternatively, if you click on the system menu (the icon in
the title-bar with resize/minimize/maximize/close/help), there should be an
Edit submenu with the same options within.
A pain, but at least feasible.

I know I'm coming to the conversation late, but here's what I do*:
1. Use Cygwin. (http://www.cygwin.com/)
2. Use PuttyCYG (http://code.google.com/p/puttycyg/)
That way, you can basically use PuTTY to shell into your Windows box.
Note: If you are familiar with the Linux command line, you will be in
love with this solution. If you're a Windows-only type, then be
forewarned that doing this will require you to type Unix/Linux
commands (for the most part) instead of DOS commands.
*Disclaimer: I use a Mac and Linux. This is my workaround when forced
to use Windows. Your environment preferences may vary.

===================================
Nope and no thanks.
I'm talking about a Dos Box on Win XP Pro
For Tim - I get junk from somewhere else in the system.
I recognize it from hours and many open/close boxes ago, but it's not
what I 'swiped".
For Shawn - why would I want to run synthesizers? Or any other ...
(There is nothing wrong with Cygwin, just not on everybody's system.
Didn't come with the package.)
I write in Linux and test on other peoples Window$
^
Thunderbird did not mark
that as a miss spelling?!!! Three cheers for them!
Objective - stick with out of the box to get way less install problems.
