All, Thanks to James Hebert of Newtek an Chuck Baker, I now have the proper procedure for grabbing and displaying screens from the Flyer interface. This would be a useful procedure for anyone wishing to grab their project to display thumbnails and printouts. The GrabbIFF utility is required. Run GrabIFF with the FrontScreen option. From your active Flyer screen, press CTRL-LEFT AMIGA while holding down the left mouse button, which reveals a rubberband crosshair. USe the mouse to select the area (while still holding down the CTRL & Left Amiga Keys) when you are satisfied wiht the area to be selected, release the keys and mouse. The resulting IFF will be copied to your RAM disk automatically. The next step is less straightforward as the pallete for this image is non-standard. When you load this image into any paint program, all you will see is a black screen. In order to see the picture you must load one of the icon files (such as those used to display framestores) as a pallete. So far I have only been successful trying this method with Brilliance (not TRUE brilliance). If anyone has any luck with another method, please tag it onto this thread. Regards Frank
