I know this was mentioned in here somewhere. But how can I capture a
picture of a window with a pull down window? Ihave access to systems
running vms 5.1 and vms 5.2 along with ultrix 3.1. I can also get a
system running V2.

I believe the answer is to use a tool called UTOX, described in the CLOSET::UTOX conference. Dan | |||||
| 1485.2 | Another method... | ONTIME::SHERMAN | Wed Sep 27 1989 17:59 | 24 | |
Another option is to do the following:
1. In the Session Manager 'Customize' menu select 'Print Screen...'
2. Select an 'Output File Name' and make sure 'Prompt For File Name'
is set.
3. Set up your screen to desired layout EXCEPT for the pulldown menu.
4. Move the Session Manager to an inobtrusive corner of the display.
5. Select 'Capture Entire Screen' from the Session Manager's 'Print
Screen' menu.
6. A dialog box prompting you for a file name will pop up. The 'OK'
button will be double-outlined indicating that it is the default.
7. Pull down the menu you wish to display and hold it. Hit <CR> (this
will activate the 'OK' Button).
8. Print file indicated in step 2 above to your favorite PostScript
printer.

On VMS, I have had soem luck with hitting Control-Y after pulling down a menu and then using session manager mechanism. | |||||
