We are trying to establish a Macintosh micro lab for use in elementary statistics courses. Our problem is that we have only 5 printers for 20 fat Macs with single disk drives, with no network (yet). The statistics program we are likely to use allows windows to be copied to the clipboard, but only as bit maps. Bit maps can then be copied to an application or the scrapbook. We need a utility that can either (1) print the scrapbook or (2) turn the scrapbook into a MacWrite document for printing, or in some other way allow us to copy bit maps to a disk and print them later. A desk accessory would be best, since we are trying to save space on the disk and, if possible, use a ram disk. MockWrite will not work because one cannot paste bit maps into MockWrite documents. In addition, any experience of others in using Macs for statistics courses would be helpful. Thanks for any help.
