Can someone tell me how to make a screen capture of
a user selecting a menu item.
I know that using FKEY 3 works for general screen
capture, but does not appear to work when you are
pressing down the mouse button to select an item.
I want to include the image in the program's
documentation. I've seen documentation before
with images of the menu selections.
Thanks for any assistance.

Lo and behold when Camera took the screen shot with a menu pulled down it locked up my SE!!! Anybody else had different results with Camera? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ken Tubbs, Gradual Student Oregon State University Internet: tubbsk@prism.cs.orst.edu Computer Science Dept.

I seem vaguely to remember some reported problems with Camera's wanting to sound a beep and hanging then. There was a patch to this which was posted here some months ago. I never had to use it, as I had no problems, but someone must have posted it here. Is there anyone out there? Jeremy Roussak
