Copying to the Clipboard

You can easily copy any part of the host PC's display to your local Windows
clipboard. You can then paste it into a document you are creating with another
Windows program.
Proxy has two commands for copying to the clipboard:

When the host PC is running a graphics-mode DOS program or Windows, your
only option is the Copy graphics command.
However, if the host PC is running a text-mode DOS program, you can copy its
screen in either text or graphics mode. Which you choose depends on how you'd
like to use the data:

Copy text
Copy graphics
If you use Copy text, you will be able to paste whatever you copied
into a word processor as ordinary text. You will then be able to perform
text editing and formatting on it within the word processor.
If you use Copy graphics, the area you designate is copied as a
bitmapped image, and you will be able to paste it into desktop publishing
programs as a graphic, retaining the exact look that it had in the Proxy
window.
Select Copy text or Copy graphics from the Proxy menu. The mouse
cursor will change shape to indicate "copy" mode.
Position the cursor at one of the corners of the rectangle that you'd like
to copy, and press the left mouse button.
Drag the cursor, highlighting the entire rectangle you'd like to copy.
Release the mouse button. The rectangle you highlighted will be copied
to the clipboard.
