Greg, One fairly easy way might be to save the screen into a memory buffer with an attendant pointer to the memory region; then, when you are done with your text mode tasks, switch back to graphics mode and getimage() the thing back from the buffer. That should work just fine. =:^} David -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- David A. Sinclair - "Chester" +--\___/--+ <sinclair@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu> | o o |
