Copying the Screen
Key Description
Prt Scn Copies the whole screen to the clipboard as a graphic. Use MS Paint to paste the image.
Depending on Prt Scn key settings on the Misc tab of a Dos program's properties, a Dos program can still print to printer with Prt Scn key.
Alt + Prt Scn Copies the active window to the clipboard as a graphic.
Print Scrn often doesn't function on many PC's depending on the
installation. There's a really neat (& small) programme called Purrint.
Download it, right click the cat icon and send it to your desktop. Click
that and it's activated. Then your Print Scrn button will work. Alt+Print
Scrn will give an image of the particular item that's showing on your
screen. You can then save it to wherever as a .bmp .jpg or .png.
