you mean the *DOS* PrintScreen only
handles text . the PrintScreen *key* simply triggers a printscreen
interrupt , which , by default , is handled by the dos printscreen
routine . hoever , any ISR can take over this interrupt , and there are
many printscreen replacements for DOS out there . in *windows* , using
an ISR isn't such a swift idea , but , as previously mentioned , the
printscreen *does* work ( just differently , and , in my way of thinking
, better ) , and , if monochrome bitmaps aren't good enough for you ,
you can use the shareware program SNAGIT .
