I have a pasting problem, that I think shouldn't be a problem.  I
still use Kermit for my terminal emulator, because I can do 132
columns by 43 rows and it does Tektronix graphics.  I haven't found a
Windows terminal program yet that will do Tektronix.  After I do a
graph, I sometimes want to print it out.  Under windows, I can press
ALT-PrtScn and copy the screen to the clipboard.  When I examine the
clipboard the hole image is there.  I can the open up paint, and paste
the image onto the screen, but it only pastes as much as can actually
be seen.  Even when I expand paint to full screen (640x480), and make
the palate and tools hidden, I can't fit the whole clipboard onto the
screen.  Is there some way around this problem short of getting a
multisync monitor so I can go to 800x600.

I have to go through a slightly elaborate scheme to get a meaningful
print out.  Kermit draws Tektronix in low intensity white on black (I
haven't been able to figure out how to get black on white in tek
mode).  Clipboard faithfully maintains this.  If I try to paste this
onto a monochrome paint document, it comes out black on black.  I can
paste it onto a color paint document.  I can then select the viewable
region ( but not anything outside :-( ), invert the colors to get grey
on white, and save it to a temporary file.  I can then reload the
temporary file in monochrome mode, and presto, I get black lines on
white background, which I can then print out.  Anyone have a simple
windows utility that will take the whole clipboard and allow it to be
printed as is or with colors inverted.
