From: James Spohrer <spohrer-james> I know you can do a COMMAND-SHIFT-3 to get a MacPaint snapshot of whatever is showing on your monitor. MY PROBLEM: I have a 19'' monitor, so only a part of the screen is viewable when I use superPaint. Also I want to have some menus pulled down when I take the snapshot. How do I get a 19'' snapshot with menus pulled down? Thanks, -Jim Spohrer spohrer@yale.edu -------

It is an INIT that replaces the standard screeen dump utility. With it installed, you hit command-shift-3 (or F13 on the big keyboard) and the cursor changes to a cross. You then select a rectangle on the screen and Capture copies it to the clipboard. From there, you can paste it into any document. Works with large screens, menus down, color screens, etc. You can also save to disk in PICT files. Street price is about $50. -- Jerry Whitnell jwhitnell@cup.portal.com ..!sun!cup.portal.com!jwhitnell

The E-Machines manual says that Command-shift-3 displays a frame which you position to frame what you want to save. The implication is that you can only get a small Mac screen. Unfortunately that doesn't work on the Mac II. I only get the upper left corner, so I'd have to position the window appropriately, or try to get what I'm trying to capture to reside in the upper left corner of the screen. Shirley Kehr
