- Yeh, that is sort of the stage I'm at. I have obtained a copy of the Rinaldi
- XCMD stuff from Sumex and am hoping that it contains his XCMD Clipboard
- utils which let you copy the clipboard to a PICT file (our TOPS is down
- and I haven't unarchived the file yet).
-
- Then hopefully I can print the file using Hypercard's Print <file> with <App>.
- A bit of a round about way but better than nothing as my system is supposed
- to be a Info Point and asking people to paste a frame back into MacPaint is
- a non-starter.
