Hi James,

You can use FoxTools to access the command window. Here's the basic code that should get you started. See George's Extended Foxtools Help File #9333 for more info.

LOCAL ARRAY laEnv [25]
SET LIBRARY TO FoxTools ADDITIVE
* Get the whandle for the current window
lnHandle = _WonTop()
lnResult = _EdGetEnv( lnHandle, @laEnv )
* [ 17 ] SelStart
* [ 18 ] SelEnd
* [ 25 ] Editor Session:  0 - Command Window
IF ( lnResult = 0 ) OR;
		( laEnv[17] = 0 ) OR ;
		( laEnv[25] <> 0 )
  _CLIPTEXT = ""
  RETURN
ENDIF

* Get the current cursor position
lnSelStart = laEnv[17] 
lnSelEnd = laEnv[18] 
* Store result into clipboard
_CLIPTEXT = _EdGetStr( lnHandle, lnSelStart, lnSelEnd )
RETURN
