You can still paste to a full screen DOS application.  Cut the material from
the Windows application to the clipboard as described.  At this point the
full screen DOS application will be minimized.  Single click on its icon.
The menu which appears will have Paste as an item.  When you select this
option the DOS application will be given the focus, i.e. brought full
screen, and the clipboard text will be entered at the cursor location.

With some full screen DOS applications you can also go the other way.
Hitting Prt-Sc (or maybe it's Shift Prt-Sc) will copy all text from the
display to the clipboard.
