Just recently someone published a keyboard shortcut to copy the contents of a pop up error
or advisory box. Thought I saved it but can't find it. Anyone know?

PRINT SCREEN would do that. Then open a graphics program and PASTE.
Adjust the image as you like and save it as a .jpg - suitable for mailing.

No, this was an actual text copy of the contents of the box. Something to do with clicking
on the title bar and ctl-c, but not exactly.

If the message is text just hi-light the text (right mouse button) and
press <Ctrl> C to copy it. You may need to click somewhere in the box
first to gain mouse focus. Press <Ctrl> V to paste it into another
document, an email or news group posting for example.
