Hi Alvin,

this is of course possible in MC.
(There are only very few things that are not possible in MC :-D)

1. You could use the (now free) External Collection from RunRev
http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/external.htm
or
2. Take a snapshot of the desired card and export it to a jpg-file.
Do this:
Snapshot:
(The card must be visible and NOT covered by other windows !!!)
on xxx ### or type the follwing line into the msg-box
import snapshot from rect (the rect of this cd)
end xxx
##takes a snapshot and puts it on the actual card in the topmost layer
Export that image:
on xxx
lock screen ##may be not necessary
select last image ## the snapshot is on the topmost layer!!
## and therefore the last image ;-)
export jpeg to file "your_hd/your_folder/MY_image.jpg"
select empty
unlock screen
end xxx
With the new MC 2.4 you can even define the jpg-quality
of the exported image. Until 2.3.2 it looks like the JPGs are
exported with the highest quality.
Hope that helps
