Command Prompt - Copy and Paste

I often need to copy text from a command prompt window. Sometimes the settings are preset to allow one to select text with the mouse, but often they are not. This is the option that needs to be selected from (right click->properties) on a command prompt window that allows you to select text (error messages, commands, debug messages, etc) to copy to somewhere else.

PS1 and command line formatting in unix shells

export|set (depending on shell) PS1=”$(print ‘<–> $(UNAME)../${PWD#/} <–> ‘)

There are a lot more options that I’ve only recently discovered, but it is really helpful to avoid needless typing of ‘ls.’
