With QuickEdit mode, you can copy text between a command window and
Windows-based programs, and you can also paste text into a command window by
using a right-click operation. In Microsoft Windows 2000, QuickEdit and Insert
mode are both enabled by default. In Windows XP, because these features are
disabled by default, there is improved program compatibility with older
MS-DOS-based programs that have included mouse support.
To enable QuickEdit mode in Windows XP:
1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
2. Click the icon in the upper-left corner of the Command Prompt window, and
then click Properties.
3. On the Options tab, click to select the QuickEdit Mode and Insert Mode check
boxes.
4. Click OK.
5. Click Save properties for future windows with same title, and then click OK.
