I assume you mean DOS?  If so, it doesn't have any notion of a
clipboard, so the keys for copying and pasting can be whatever
any programmer decides is a good key to use.

There is a minimal (and crummy) interface for copying portions
of the previously typed line into the current one, which I think
goes like this:

   F1     copy one character from previous line
   F2 c   copy up to the next instance of the character "c" in the
          previous line
   F3     copy the entire previous line
   F4 c   ignore (that is, delete) up through the next instance
          of the character "c" in the previous line
   F5     make the current line into the "previous line" and
          start over

It's sort of like the "alter" command from SOS, which Microsoft copied
forward into Extended BASIC and EDIT-80, but with even fewer features
and worse feedback.
