  If you mean can a screen grab program (like Grabbit) capture the frozen
  Ms-Dos window, then yes. When you have these 2 Ms-Dos windows open you can
  click from window to window changing & freezing as you wish.

  Guess that all depends on the deal you work with your dealer. As usual, shop
  around.

Just bring the frozen window to the front and use a program like SaveILBM
to save the image in Amiga IFF format or use Graphic dump to print it.

Hi!

	I have two questions that many of you can answer, one about the 
brigdeboard and the other about the 2500.

1) I understand that it is possible to have more than one window open to the
bridgeboard; however, if, for example, two windows were open the second window
is the active window and the first window is only a graphics hold window.  Is
it possible to copy that window to a graphics editing program and then save
it?

2) Since the 2500 really is only a 2000 + A2620, is it less expensive, at the
moment to buy a 2000 and upgrade it with an A2620 board or just but the 2500?

	Thanks in advance.
