Default Pasting into DOS - slowing it down ?

Steve,

I right-click on the blue bar at the top of the window, and
then click "Edit -- Paste"

Would that make a difference, or is it effectively the same
thing?


It looks very similar. I've tried it, but still lots of chars disappear.

Perhaps it could be a setting in the DOS program itself.


:-) The program in case is so old that it doesn't have any concept of
copy-pasting from/to other sources/targets.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
