I'm doing some documentation for an application i'm developing, and need to
do some screen shots of menus, windows, dialogs, etc. For just plain old
windows, i tried cmd-shift-3, but the Mac (a IIcx) just squeeked at me (this
worked fine on an SE). I found that changing the monitor setting to B&W
enabled this to work, but it still can't do menus and dialogs, etc. I tried
using a DA called Camera, but the resulting MacPaint files (read into
SuperPaint) are just unattractive arrangements of pixels, like it got them
in the wrong order or something (this probably works on an SE also).
Again, setting monitors to B&W improved things, but the bottom half of
the image was still garbled.
I also tried an FKEY called Screen-Dump ][, but that made my application
(FoxBase) quit.
Is there anything else i can use to do screen dumps (to disk) on a IIcx (of
dialog boxes as well as menus)?

In the info-mac archives on sumex there is an FKEY called menuselect which allows screenshots with menus pulled down. From what I can gather, it calls the regular shift-command-3 FKEY while the menu is down. anders
