How do I copy and paste from the dosemu window to something else?

I am trying to run a DOS game but I'm getting a "you do not have sufficient virtual memory available".
I wanted to paste that into this message instead of retyping it.
I found some reference to "xdos" in the FAQ but I couldn't seem to find this program.

As almost anywhere in X, select text by dragging the mouse with the left mouse button pressed, press middle mouse button to paste.

click left+right at the same time. shift+ins might work too.

To emulate 3rd button must be said in X config
(/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 on my system):

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
...
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
EndSection
