print screen in dos

Guest

Tricia,
I did what Yves recommended. It does work in DOS running in Full Screen
mode. I knew about Alt+P in Windows sure, but was not sure about a DOS
window. It copies and pastes the characters into Word, but not the black
background (thank goodness).

Yes I did.
Works just fine. No problem at all.
I have a DOS program running full screen.
You want to capture what is on the screen?
No problem.
Press Alt+Print Screen
Open Notebook, Edit and Paste.
Everything is there in Notebook. Just print it.

SnagIt 7 has a variety of ways to capture a full screen, a window
without
the windows borders, just the contents of a window, even one in which
some
of the contents have scrolled out of view. I suggest you download the
trial version from TechSmith and see. I have not seen a screen or
combination of screens and windows or areas that it cannot capture the
way
I want it done.

What everyone is describing is Run>Start type "command" and at the
left
of the title bar should be a tiny black console-window icon. Edit is
on
the drop down menu when you click the tiny icon.

I KNOW, but it is NOT VISIBLE WHEN ALT/ENTER IS PRESSED. There is no
title bar visible. Try it.

In fact go to the root directory C: and type cls, all that will be
left
on a black screen is C:>.

To repeat the problem, How can I get a copy of a DOS screen, NOT A
WINDOW, that I can paste into MSPAINT?

Hi I downloaded the trial of SnagIt but it does not capture a dos screen.
All I am getting is a blank white screen when I paste into paint.
Any further ideas?
Tricia

I gather there is no solution.

Did most of the people who gave advice actually try to replicate the
problem? or even read the post and answers before giving the final (at this
time) answer?
