Oh; - so you think the only way is to mess with direct memory access - that
sounds a bit too nasty.

But i wonder why is it possible to use the clipboard ex. in a windowized
dos-box ? - this suggest maybe that you can do something similar ? (maybe
get the memory area from within theese functions? ) -  (but im not
interested in using PLAYBACK of keystrokes  & mousemovement)

And do you know if AllocConsole have explicity - nothing to do with this
wish ?

Regards,
Lars
