How do I take a screenshot in GPL? I've looked in the manuals, and I can't seem to find the answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My thanks in advance. Wally

When all else fails, reading the readme.txt file usually has the answer. -- Alan Goss

Not quite. I did what it says and I don't see where the new file has appeared. Have you done this successfully. Gene

Thanks, Alan doh!! it's so easy to miss the obvious sometimes Gene, the screenshot is saved as a .pbf file in the gpl folder (drive:/sierra/gpl.) You then have to go to good old DOS, and convert this file to a tga file using the pbf2tga.exe file also located in the gpl folder. I hope that's not too muddy an explanation. Good Luck Wally
