DOS questions

[COntr]

Is there any way I can take copy and paste text and information from a DOS program (Points) into Microsoft Word?

I am making mailing labels and all of the old addresses are on a DOS program and I am hoping there is an easier way than retyping everything (around 450 addresses)

You could also do something like this, but replace the "dir" command with "type" or "list", thus printing the entire DOS file. Or any variation thereof. Very useful little program, actually. 🙂
