Actually, the best way to take screen shots with a Mac II is to use a nifty FKEY called ColorImageFKEY. The source code appeared in the Feb 88 issue of MacTutor (in Lightspeed Pascal form). What ColorImage does is to replace the standard Command-Shift-3 FKEY with one that allows snapshots of either the active window or the entire screen and creates color images on a Mac II. It also prompts you for the name of the file to create instead of just naming them SCREEN0, SCREEN1 etc... The other good news is that the files created are PICT files which means you can import them into PixelPaint, MS PowerPoint, MacDraw II etc... I have the compiled code and could post it to comp.binaries.mac if someone would e-mail instructions on how to do it. ----- L.
