You can also copy and paste in game using Control+C to copy, and Control+V to paste. Useful in places where the scrolling up option doesn't work; I use it fairly often when mailing items between characters so I don't need to retype my global name a dozen times.

One of the old versions of DOS was able to do that, so many of us who instinctively tried it tried it as a habit from that, I would wager.

Keep one e-mail, and reply to it. Even easier than Copy-Paste.

I used to copy and paste my global into emails I was sending myself, but I would finish before the 15 second timer between emails had reset, so now I just type out my global.

You could do it on later versions, too, if you installed.... um... I think it was called DosKey.

The Windows command line does it too.

It's a pretty typical feature of any command line. It's also a feature of mIRC, and I think Pidgin if you do Shift+Up or Ctrl+Up or something.

Yes it was Doskey, It is built into the command prompt now.

You don't need to use command line on Linux these days and it's got a flavour for pretty well everyone, regardless of capability.

You play Tankers exclusively, right?

Okay! I'm just kidding!

I'm actually ashamed that I didn't.
