My question is similar to the last but with some twists.
Say a person has on an ms-dos pc decwindows running.
Say they are running word perfect in one window.
They would like to cut and paste from other applications in other
windows (text) using the same keys that word perfect uses
to do cut and paste. I believe this can be done from
the standpoint of the applications themselves. (ie. written into
the application code) But can it be done from the decwindows
level? or through some kind of keyboard remapping if they are
running the applications from decterm (terminal emulation)?

If they are running wordperfect in one window, then that window
is a DECterm, and the wordperfect running is wordperfect for vms.
When DECwindows-extended-for-MSDOS is running on a PC, it is the
only PC application running.
See mosaic::pcdecwindows for details.
Cut and paste works between DECterm and other applications to the
extent that the various applications have decided to implement it.
