Absence of strings "shot" "cap" "screen" "pict" or anything else in its name to indicate why it exists is frustrating. I often have to Google when I do need it.
a simple reminder to help the most fault of memories: tie it to the <prtscrn> key
Which helps how? I'm not trying to send anything to a printer when I want to capture a jpg of a GUI screen.
duh, <prtscrn> has to do a screen capture and then *you* tell it what to do with the captured screen. you do not have to *print* the screen, you *can* save the file.
The mechanics of how PrintScreen does what it does is zero help. Last time I hit that key on purpose I still had a working dot matrix parallel printer and was booted to DOS. Only thing I ever used it for on purpose was putting BIOS 80x25 or SVGA text (132xNn) screen content on paper. Other strikings took an eternity for the printer to get quiet. The key says "Print", not "now what?". -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
