                   CAPTURING SCREENS IN WINDOWS

   Your keyboard's Print Screen key does something pretty neat in most DOS 
programs: press it and you get a screen dump (a snapshot of your current 
screen) sent to the printer as a printout. You can also use it at the DOS 
prompt as a quick way of printing the contents of short files, like the 
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.

   In Windows the Print Screen key has a similar function. But instead of 
sending a snapshot of the screen to the printer, it sends it to the 
Clipboard. And you know that anything from the Clipboard can be "pasted" 
into just about any other Windows program using the Edit-Paste option. (Try 
it inside Windows' Paintbrush.)

   Why would you want to do this, you ask? Capturing screens in Windows 
has a number of uses: for providing illustrations to go along with a 
software manual you're writing; for proving to your friends that, yes, you 
really did once score 425 in Solitaire; or, more practically, for pulling 
in onscreen text from a DOS session without having to retype it in your 
Windows program.
