I haven't Vista to play with, and others have said here that Vista captures screens only as bitmaps, not acceptable on this list.
however, in: https://www.tombrennansoftware.com/multiple.html I read: Each time something is Cut or Copied, the data is stored in Copybuffer 1, and also into the Windows Clipboard. Ideally then, one might Select the entire screen; Copy; and Paste into an editor such as Notepad++ or directly into a message to this list. How does that procedure treat: o Multi-line fields? o Attribute bytes? o Highlighting? There are competing objectives: o A programmer might want to Copy even a multi-line field as a string with no formatting. o A writer of documentation or the OP to this thread might want a visually faithful image of the screen. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
