I want to make screen snapshots with a menu down. There used to be some tools for this (DA etc), but I guess they are all to old for System 6.0x. Could someone give me a hint of an utility of this kind? /Olle

There is an excellent shareware utility called FlashIt (I believe
$15). Write to:

Here are the docs and .hqx (non-archived) for the very tiny but useful MenuPicture
INIT. The docs explain it all. I use it all the time, and can even get pictures
of drop-down menus in dialog boxes. Enjoy.

What it is
This little piece of software allows FKEY's (command-shift-number key combinations)
to get executed while the mouse is down. It lets the command-shift-3 FKEY in
the system make screen pictures while you have a menu pulled down, for instance.
Usage
To install MenuPicture INIT, simply drag it into your System Folder and restart
your Macintosh. Drag it out of the System Folder and restart to remove the
INIT. To temporarily disable it, hold down just about any key while your Mac
boots (Shift is a sure bet). You will find that while the mouse is down, if
the command and Shift keys are down, the system will respond to things you
type (like command-shift-3, which creates a MacPaint image of the screen).
Depending on your needs, you may or may not want the cursor visible in your
picture. If either the Caps Lock key or Control key (on new keyboards) is down,
the cursor will be hidden in the picture. If both Caps Lock and Control are
up, the cursor will be visible.
How it Works
MenuPicture works by patching the Macintosh ROM routine StillDown. Every time
StillDown is called, the INIT sees if there is a key-down event pending, and
if the command and shift keys are down. If so, it calls GetNextEvent, which
processes the event.
Bugs, etc.
Nobody's perfect. There may be some program out there that won't work with
this INIT. If you have problems, please write me at the address above. No
phone calls, please.
