 I did this when I had win3.11
copy dos to windows for example, to copy data from supercalc to windows
write,
go to the dos prompt, press alt+enter to put dos in a window
start sc5 and open the required file. 
at the menu controll top left click "edit" and click "mark"
the mouse can then highlight the required field
again click edit but now click copy instead.
this is now on the windows clipboard. you must paste as "courier"
otherwise you will need to format the resulting paste.

It is also possible to paste the windows clipboard into a dos program
using the reverse method. remember to copy the carriage return as well
as the text. 
With spreadsheets you may have to start the line with a single quote.

Is this of any use? Regards,
