sometimes the print screen button is used in conjunction with a
"function button", especially on laptops.

That worked with Windows 98 and SE. Doesn't work
with XP. When I go to paste into paint, there is
nothing there to paste. The problem is that XP
won't allow me to display MicroSmith in a window.

If all that fails, a good utility for screen capture is mwsnap, you can
find it he

I wonder if it will work with a Quickbasic DOS
program running under XP that will not display
in a window?
