📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses issues with pasting certain characters (such as ), *, +, :, ;, ?, @, ^, and lowercase L) from the clipboard into an old console editor developed with Borland C. The original poster notes that these characters do not paste properly in their custom-made console application, although they work fine in other console windows. Respondents suggest that the problem could stem from limitations or bugs within the custom application rather than Windows itself.

When using an old console editor, compiled with Borland C, I find that some characters do not paste from the clipboard, viz:

) * + : ; < = > ? @ ^ l (upper case L is ok!).

All paste ok in other console applications, and when using the legacy console!

Does anyone have an explanation for this oddity, or, better still, a solution?

If it's some custom console then I'd say it's a bug or shortcoming of the developed application. It would be impossible to give advice on some custom application.
