My Linux machine always has an open SSH port. The windows command
line box (aka console) is preposterous (what is not, in Windows?),
but better than in older versions. And they have an SSH client.

So what I do is ssh into my Linux box. Sometimes, I even run an
Emacs client in that.

This covers my needs, including copy-pasta (what else is that other
operating system good for, anyway?) of things in Windows.

Jeez. They could send the whole web page content over that URL. I'd
cancel that service =:-o
