printing out from PowerBasic DOS

[JAMES GILLEM]

To download a really good screen snapshot utility simply do a
search for PS32 - PRINT SCREEN 32 It's a freebie and it lets
you pick any area of your screen and save 1 to 6 or more shots in
the cliboard.

good luck

I gather you are using a graphics mode for this, in which case Windows will switch the app to full-screen mode when it runs.

Therefore, try switching the screen back to windowed mode via the ALT+ENTER keystroke combination, and then use ALT+PRINTSCREEN to capture just the content of that screen.

Note that the app will be halted while in windowed mode as Windows is not capable of providing realtime graphics emulation in a windowed DOS box.

Thanks for your interest. Alt+PrintScreen seems to have no effect, and nor do <Copy> or <Paste>, tho' PrintScreen itself works (it reproduces Desktop successfully).

I have accidentally created a pretty pattern in PB DOS and I want to use it in e.g. birthday cards. How do I save and/or print it out? The Windows print-screen facility doesn't work.
