Does anyone know of a DA, like camera, that will take a picture of the screen while the mouse button is down on a Menu item? Camera freezes my Mac Plus. I'm trying to build a HyperCard tutorial and need screen dumps.

I don't know exactly what the bad interactions are, but it is
Camera's use of SysBeep that causes crashes during screen dumps
when menus are down in the newer systems. If you'd like to
continue using Camera for screen dumps you can either revert
to an older system (I'm told it works under 5.0) or you can
remove the SysBeeps and have it still work (for now) under the
current system. I suspect there may be some other no-no's
occurring at interupt level that may cause future breakage.
Anyway, to "fix" Camera (tested on SE and +), replace the
occurrences of 3F3C 0005 A9C8 with 4E71 4E71 4E71 using the
file editor of your choice. I believe there are three places
all within the same sector. Do this at your own risk, of course.
