To acsses GR BASIC's screen ram under the kernal ($e000-$ffff), you must first bank out the kernal (HIRAM). Too bad BASIC cannot function without the kernal installed! You will need machine language for this task. Copy the information to a "safe" area of memory. Alternatly you could save the screen to disk, and reload it when you want hardcopy. While this will take a lot of extra time on the 1541, it may just be the easiest way arround the problem. -Bryce Nesbitt of the Society to port BSD 4.2 UNIX to the Timex/Sinclair 1000-
