Ben,
I agree….the GraphicDump program supplies you with the capability to
do a dump of the screen right now. However, there major drawback to that is
the speed. The way it works is that it only reads the screen, when it's ready
to print that portion of it. So if you issued the command, and then change the
screen while it's printing…you get different stuff on the top of the screen
printout than you get on the bottom of the screen printout.
The easiest way around this is to make a copy of the current screen in
another area of memory and then use that copy to do the graphic dump. It's
still slow…but at least allows you to do other things once you've issued the
command.
Don
