When I press Alt-Printscreen inside the Windows environment, it seems to work just fine. I have also been able to capture text screens from non-Windows programs. But when it comes to non-Windows graphics, it does not let me do screen capture. Is there a setting I have not set correctly? Do I have to be in enhanced 386 mode? Is there a separate utility that would allow me to do this? Help! - Boris Burtin

When you run DOS applications under Windows, the Print Screen key works the same as it does when running a Windows application, i.e., the interrupt vectors for Print Screen point to the same places as they did when you were in Windows. The help for Clipboard, however, specifically says you can't cut and paste from DOS applications running in graphics mode. It doesn't prevent you from doing it - the picture just comes out garbled except for simple monochrome screens. BTW, Andy Cook, your posts might be a little easier to read if you put a carriage return at the end of each line instead of the end of each paragraph. Chuck -- Chuck H.
