Agreed all around. I suspect the Windows screen capture is not visible to or modifiable by the application.
Yeah, a "grab all" would be nice. For doc purposes, I wish Tom could do an RTF format copy that would preserve text colors, but they are easy enough to "fake back" while doing the doc. Vista has a "save screen to disk" function but I have never used it. Yeah, I hate "graphical" screen shots in problem tickets, but what are you going to do? The customer is always right, right? It's often hard enough to get anything out of them: Customer: it blew up. Us: what was the error message? Customer: I don't know, something about an error occurred. Us: Please send us the listing. Customer: Oh, we already purged the output. When are you going to have a fix for us?

I suspect that's because for GUI applications, a picture, is probably quite appropriate. Conversely, for terminal applications, a decided subset of most Windows applications, text is better. So in this case, the terminal application is an outlier and subject to the more common default picture. But I completely agree, the text copy & paste is a LOT better. Props if the terminal can take a screen capture which is tantamount to do an entire screen copy for you to paste as text elsewhere. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
