what kind of problems are you encountering?  you know there's a 
difference between DOS text and Unix text, right?

for my own purposes, I've created a batchfile while converts the 
contents of the clipboard from Unix to DOS format, and then writes the 
reformatted clipboard contents to a textfile, which I then merge into 
the desired place in my DOS app. I can point you in the right direction 
if you're curious.
