i think you right click on the top corner of the dos screen.
 
ok so, right clicking the top corner worked, i was able to paste... but still says invalid beta key-aborting. what do i do now?????

Verify you have the correct serial number and hboot version. The Beta Key is phone specific so if you are off a little on the SN it will give you the wrong key.

man a lot of people are getting this. i know that the beta key is case sensitive and also very specific. somebody mentioned to copy the key and paste it into notepad and then use that to copy and paste into the dos window. if that does not work then maybe try again and get a different key.
