Is there an ASCII code for 'print screen'? I would like to be able to use
the CHR function using such a code to do a screen capture. Alternatively,
being able to write an 'alt-T' would suffice. Please excuse me if this is
a really simple (reflecting my level of expertise) question.

Many thanks,
Brian.

You can't get a print screen (emulate the Print Scrn function) by sending
a certain ASCII code. The best way to "force" a Print-Screen is to
issue an INT $05. Try the following example.


Procedure PrintScreen; Assembler;
Asm
INT 05
End;

Begin
PrintScreen;
End;

This will issue an INT $05 and you will get a print screen.
