OK, I've a question.

In many PC's that I've used, there were two options in printscreening:

<shift>printscreen -- would result in a dump of the current screen contents
                      to the printer
<ctrl>printscreen  -- would toggle the print option on, such that any new
                      information appearing on teh screen would copy to the
                      printer.

Having gotten myself a PC, I'm somewhat disappointed to find that I don't
have the second feature... :-(

What I'd like to know is:  is this somehow settable by me?  If so, how?
                           is there some sort of tsr that would mimic this?
                           if so, which, and where would I find it?
                           are only certain PC's set up this way?

I'd appreciate e-mail, since I really don't have the time to read this group...

Thanks in advance,
