You can't use the printscreen key, but you can attach your own function
to a menu or Alt-key.
Here is a function called ScreenDump() that I wrote ages ago. It ain't
pretty and it only works with the "standard" screen size. But you can
send it to a printer or file.
FUNCTION ScreenDump(p_printer, p_append)
* take a snap-shot of the screen and send it to p_printer
* or current printer if no parameter
private fullscreen, cleanscreen, x, oldprinter
* cleanup the parameter
p_append := IIF(p_append == NIL, .F., p_append)
* get a copy of the current screen
fullscreen := savescreen()
* remove the color attribute (every other character)
cleanscreen := ""
for x := 1 to len(fullscreen) step 2
cleanscreen += substr(fullscreen,x,1)
next
* change to the printer specified in parameter
if p_printer <> NIL
oldprinter := set(_SET_PRINTFILE, p_printer, p_append)
endif
* turn on the printer
set device to print
set printer on
set console off
* print the cleaned-up screen variable
for x := 1 to len(cleanscreen) step 80
?? substr( cleanscreen, x, 80)
?? chr(13) + chr(10)
next
eject
* put everything back
set printer off
set console on
set device to screen
if p_printer <> NIL
set(_SET_PRINTFILE, oldprinter)
endif
return
* end of ScreenDump()

| Although complicated, this usually works:
using the "prtscrn" button actually captures the screen into the windows
clipboard (similar to ctrl-C). Then if you alt-tab into notepad, or wordpad,
or MSWord, etc you can paste the screen (ctrl-V). Then you can print from
that program.
Note, I have found that some computers use various key combinations for
"prntscrn". You just have to try them to see which one works:
"PrtScrn"
"ctrl-PrtScrn"
"alt-PrtScrn"
"shift-PrtScrn"
Good Luck,
Fred

| Fred & Eric,
He asked about "full-screen MS-DOS mode". I thought it could be done
in a window (I cut and paste to WP for documentation).
Do these methods work in "full-screen MS-DOS mode"?

| I use cut & paste (via prtscrn) in full screen DOS mode.

| Hi,
Long ago I had used the program Screen Thief whereby upon pressing a
hotkey the screen will be saved to a .tiff file format.
I used it extensively when working on documentation on Wordperfect 5.1
days
