I use a program called prndsk.com that a friend got from SIMTEL20. It 
redirects printer output to the filename you specify, so that every time you
press the Print Screen key the screen image is saved in a text file. The text
file can then be edited by any text editor. I use it to document applications
and am very pleased with it.  Unfortunately, I don't know in which subdirectory
you will find this program.
