Copying and Pasting Displayed Information (5250)
The 5250 Client allows you to make a copy of the information in the display, so that you can use that information in other applications. To do this, select a portion of the displayed information, and then copy it to the Windows Clipboard. After copying information to the Clipboard, you can change to a different application and transfer the information into that application.
In reverse fashion, you can copy information from an application other than the Client, and then paste the information into the Client. If the emulation session is in a state in which information can be received (indicated by the status line), the pasted information will be entered as a series of keystrokes.
