Using cut-and-paste in the Command Prompt is easy. In a text-editing application like Notepad, select and copy the phrase as you would normally. Next, move your mouse to the Command Prompt screen. Right-click on the desired location in this screen and the copied text will appear.

Naturally, you can also cut and paste in the Command Prompt screen itself. Select a phrase by moving the mouse over it while you hold down the left mouse button. Then right-click twice to paste the selection at the cursor's position.

move your mouse over that word, then double-left click, followed by double-right click.

That's it.

The first double-click on the left mouse button will select the word at the mouse cursor position. Then, when we press the first right-click will do the "Copy" (since you do have some selected text). No need to do anything as earlier selected text becomes automatically deselected. Then, when we click the next right click will Paste the selected text from the clipboard at the current cursor. In the end, double-left click plus double-right click does the job.

CMD.exe supports command line cut and paste.

You are allow to copy, paste text between MS-DOS and Windows XP. In the CMD window, right-click anywhere on the title bar where you would see a menu, click Edit, and click Mark. You can select the text you want to copy and press ENTER where you want to paste it then just right click again. You will get the selected text pasted into your application.

Using the above paste command in CMD, you can paste the Clipboard contents to the current command line. If you paste multiple lines of commands, they will all be executed in turn. Example:

dir c:\boot.ini
attrib -r -s -h c:\boot.ini
dir c:\boot.ini
attrib +r +s +h c:\boot.ini

Copy the above to the clipboard, open a cmd prompt, right click the title bar, click Edit, click Paste. See how each command was executed:
