SYMPTOMS
========
You may be unable to use the PRINT SCREEN key to capture a full screen image
from MS-DOS Prompt under Microsoft Windows version 3.1 in low-memory situations.
For example, if you have a system with 2 MB of memory, MS-DOS loaded high, and
several device drivers loaded, there may not be enough memory for Windows in 386
enhanced mode to capture a full-screen image of your MS-DOS-based applications.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, either add more RAM to your computer or select and
copy the desired text when MS-DOS Prompt is run in a window.
To select text from MS-DOS Prompt running in a window:
1. Choose the Control Menu (press ALT+SPACEBAR).
2. Choose Edit.
3. Choose Mark.
4. Use the mouse or SHIFT+ARROW keys to select a specific area, or select all of
the text in the window. Selecting all of the text is the equivalent of doing
a Print Screen from a full screen MS-DOS Prompt session.
5. Press ENTER to copy the text to the Clipboard.
