     I don't have Zemax, so I am just guessing here, but OSLO has a similar 
problem.  Many programs that do not explicitly accept cut and past at the 
program level, still respond at the control element level.  (It's a Windows 
thing...)

     Try this; it works with OSLO.  Copy the text from where you want and 
then move the mouse over the target edit control.  Select its contents and 
hit the delete key.  Now, with the mouse still over the control, click the 
right mouse button.  You may see a menu pop up with the usual Cut, Copy, 
Paste commands.  Select paste from the menu.  The contents of the clipboard 
will pasted into the control as if you had typed them.  Hit the enter key 
to store the value...

     Hope it works in Zemax.  It is a real time saver in OSLO for the same 
reason.
