Screen shots

-----------------------------------

Is there a command that can capture a screen shot and save it to a file.

This function would be useful aswell for a paint program where as a user can save his picture as "mypic.bmp".

I need to input a name to save the file as, then i need to be able to save that file as an image file of the screen shot.

thanks,

if you create a new pic (save to a variable) it can be saved as a pic, but its not formatted right or something, so you can never open it up again, or so i think... :silly:

no. .. .  . .you can save it, but only as a .bmp and that takes a lot of memory and HD space *like 2mb per pic.. so yea.. just a caution..

Pic.ScreenSave i beleive is the command.. . have u heard of f10 ?  common.
