Windows handles this fine by itself.  To copy text to the clipboard you
simply mark the text area (block marking with the mouse) and presses return.
The DOS-program have to be in a window. You can switch between full screen
and window mode with alt-return.

To paste text from the clipboard you choose edit/paste (if my memory
serves me right) from the system menu of the dos program window.

I have done this many times without any problems.
