Ben,
I agree, if talking about a single console, with no windowing support,
they were right. Again, my concern about doing the same thing for the
Amiga…is the windowing envrionment.
IF we can built a text map (and text only…since that's what the vast
majority of users want on a print screen…and GraphicDump takes care of those
that want it all) that has all the attributes of the current screen you are
looking at…then it should be done.
I would also agree to your idea of each window having it's own text
map, where you click on the window, and then hit the hot-key to print screen
and you get the text only from that particular window…full 80×24 (or
whatever).
Don
