<font color=blue>So what, can't you see any attachments?? - I am confused as you are the guru </font color=blue>
Harv is still the guru. The attachment was an executable that can only run on Windows PCs. Harv runs an Apple something or other. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

How do you save a screen shot like that?

Well, Neil, looks like Mike has already answered your question. I'm a staunch Macintosh fanatic.

I guess I should confess that in addition to my 4 PowerMacs, I also have a pretty decent PC running Windows 98, which I keep around for testing my web stuff. So why didn't I just check the attachment on that machine? Well, you see ... it's in a different room ... and it wasn't turned on at the time ... and ... I can be pretty darned lazy when I put my mind to it. /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

Re: helping

Shift PrintScreen copies the current screen image onto the Windows Clipboard. Then I opened up an image editor program, Pasted from the Clipboard, flipped the image 180 degrees then saved as a jpeg image.

Showing of course my ignorance to most things here....

Didn't Mac invent Windows???

Re: helping

Oh gosh no! Unix had a "windowing" feature before Microsoft. Harv can pipe in, as he might know better, but I think Xerox actually developed on of the very early "window" type software.

Actually, Apple stole the basic interface from Xerox and developed the Macintosh. Bill Gates then, through devious means, took a Mac prototype and whipped up a quick and dirty knockoff of Apple's work and announced it just in time to upstage the introduction of the Mac. He named the knockoff "Windows".

There was a fascinating docudrama on TV called "Pirates Of Silicon Valley" which told the whole story. It's available on video now, and you can find it through places like Amazon.com.

When you cut or copy information from a program, it is moved to the Clipboard and remains there until you clear the Clipboard or until you cut or copy another piece of information. The Clipboard is like a scratch pad area in Windows.
