Claude:
The following code is used to put the screen into a general field.

* "Press" or for the user
declare integer keybd_event in Win32API integer, ;
integer, integer, integer
vk_snapshot = 44

* Copy the active application window to the clipboard
* (equivalent to )
=keybd_event(vk_snapshot, 0, 0, 0)


lnSelect = select()

define window PrintScr from 500, 500 TO 600, 600
activate window PrintScr

* Let the user know we are working, wait one second to allow print screen to finish
wait window "Preparing Screen Print" timeout 1

create cursor PrintScreen (ScreenPrt G, Notes M)
select PrintScreen
append blank

* * ScreenPrt general field
* = Save changes to and close the ScreenPrt general
* field
keyboard '{Ctrl+V}{Ctrl+W}' plain clear
modify general ScreenPrt window PrintScr


Using this code from Gentofil.prg
CASE FSEEK(liHandlein,599)>0 AND FREAD(liHandlein,2)="BM"
lcExtension="BMP"
liEndOffset=FSEEK(liHandlein,599)+83

(which is very similar to your suggestion)
The debugger tells me that FREAD(liHandlein,2) is " " when the screen was saved on a Windows 98 box and
2 odd characters (1 of which is a funny "y". I commented out the AND above and saved to a file with a .BMP
extension and tried to open it with Futuris Imager. There is nothing there to show me.

Any ideas?
