Thanks Charlie. I found the key right where you said.

But what do you get, and how big is the resulting file? When I tried it,
I got the whole screen dumped, with my Office Taskbar and all the
Reflection 'chrome'. It produced some rather iffy dithering when I
printed it on the LJ4, and when saved, made a 1.5mB Word document.

Imagine a document with 20 or 30 of the suckers!

Working at something less than 800x600 in 16-bit colour would reduce
this size, of course, but I don't want to keep changing resolution just
for screendumps; that would be cumbersome.

My long-winded method does at least give a much more manageable 50k
document (actually about 37k per extra screen) so a 20 or 30 screen
document stays feasible.

It also gives output that looks like it could have come off a dumb
terminal, so it doesn't start all the users hankering for a pretty GUI
on an 'expensive' PC...     :-)
