I was playing with that today, and discovered that apparently the Windows
clipboard is sacrosanct; if I don't reserve the PrtSc key in the .PIF file
and try to dump the sub-Windows screen to the meta-Windows clipboard, when I
exit the sub-Windows process the computer crashes with a text message in the
upper left corner of the screen (I don't remember what it was, and I have
yet to get any of this to work on my computer at home).  Any ideas why this
is?
