Yes, I've seen keyboards of the type you describe, but never on a Window$
95 machine. I had always thought that Window$ 95 insists on having its
own special type of keyboard, which, by the way, does not include a
"PRINT SCREEN" key on all the Window$ 95 keyboards that I've seen.
Marking and capturing text to clipboard and then pasting it onto another
file is a time-consuming procedure involving many steps. It is so much
easier to simply press the "PRINT SCREEN" key and have the entire screen
printed to a user-specified file. There are a lot of things you can do
very easily with DOS, but difficult and complicated to do with Window$.
