I have a program called SCAPTURE.ZIP on my Fidonet BBS, ((306) 966-4857,
fidonet node 1:140/43, HST Dual standard modem.)  This program takes a
"snapshot" of a full-screen and dumps that screen to a file on the disk.
Perhaps that would come in handy for you.  If you still need the cut and paste
to a PM program, you can edit this file with the OS/2 "E" editor, and then
cut and paste from there.

This program may be available via FTP.  I suggest that before you call my BBS,
use the ARCHIE database to search for this file.  eg:

% telnet quiche.cs.mcgill.ca
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
login: archie
       ~~~~~~
archie> prog scapture
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That should tell you of any FTP sites which have it (if any).
