Hi,

After having the priledge of working on Sun and other workstations
for a while, I now find myself working once again in the MS-DOS
environment.  I have the MKS Toolkit which makes me feel pretty
much "at home", but I really miss my mouse based Cut and Paste.
I don't know now many times I see something on the Screen that
I want to put into the current command I am typing, so I grab
for my mouse and get empty air.  I know there are command line
editor and history TSRs for DOS (we have a couple here), but I
really miss my mouse!!  Is there a mouse based Cut/Paste for
DOS available.  (As usual, Freeware, Shareware perferred, but
I will consider Buyware as well.)

Frank
