I'm stuck.
Could someone please offer me some info on how I could
in Lightspeed Pascal dump the screen to the
printer (using the Print Manager?) ?
Maybe with an example or something?
I would really appreciate it.
thanks,
Gerald

Here's one way to tackle the problem, though it's a bit sleazy. There's code for dumping/printing the screen in FKEY 3 and FKEY 4. So, the easy way to dump/print the screen is to GetResource('FKEY', 3) or GetResource('FKEY', 4), *check to be sure you got the FKEY*, dereference the handle, cast the pointer into a procedure pointer, and call the procedure. Note that the procedure is void (no return value) and has no parameters.

You may want to check that the long int starting at the eighth byte of the resource is 4 (if your dumping to the printer), or that the resource ends with the string ".Print". You could even cycle through the FKEYs, but this gets harder than what's described in IM II-165, anyway. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oliver Steele ...!uunet!mcnc!unc!steele steele@cs.unc.edu "In computer science, there's no excuse for cleverness." -- Zdonik
