This is nice if you need to popup a menu or something. - Select the "Hide XV windows" option if you want xv to get out of the way - Click on Grab (or on Autograb if your delay is > 0) - If you selected Grab, click on the left mouse button to get a screen shot of a specific window or the middle button to select an area to grab. THe right button cancels the grab. - If you selected AutoGrab, put your mouse in the window you want to grab and wait until the computer beeps. - The xv image window should show you your screenshot. Enjoy, L P.S. it's possible that it won't work on a 24-bit screen. I just tried it and it craps out. In that case, the GIMP works. But I couldn't get it to save a window with a popup menu in it... -- Laurent Duperval "Montreal winters are an intelligence test, U|Force - Java Center and we who are here have failed it."
