TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The easiest way to do a screen capture in a Windows environment is to use
either Alt-PrintScrn or Ctrl-PrintScrn depending on whether you want to
capture just the window or the entire screen. This puts the picture on the
clipboard then you can insert it into a document.
I'm sorry I can't remember the details of this, but
one strategy is to redirect the screen output to
your printer, then press Print Scnr, then redirect
the screen output back to your screen.
I'm almost certain the command is redir, but I can't
remember the syntax or the arguments you need to
provide.

Subject: Screen Capture question
This may sound like an elementary question, but I
have to ask it. I am
trying to capture an ASCII screen. I've tried print
screen, but it
doesn't capture anything. I've used several screen
capture tools, and
they aren't working either. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Candie
