I use WordPerfect 5.0 to document PC software.  I'm using a fast XT clone
with 640K.  WordPerfect's memory requirements combined with those of the
applications I'm documenting are making it impossible for me to capture
screens as the application displays them and imbed those screens in a
WordPerfect document.

WordPerfect's GRAB utility doesn't work on screens with non-graphics 
characters.  Desqview required too much memory, and Sidekick can't
interpret some of the characters displayed.

I want the capability to capture whatever I can display and imbed that,
exactly as displayed, in a WordPerfect document.

Does anyone have anything I might experiment with?
