Alt-Home will toggle DOS sessions between full-screen and windowed display
(same as Alt-Enter in Windows), allowing him to screen-capture the whole
window, or simply copy-and-paste the text contents. This does not work
for OS/2 fullscreen sessions, however.

Actually, PMView should work with NO reboots; the only changes it makes
that require a restart are the paths it adds to CONFIG.SYS, and those are
active after the first reboot.
