- Hi there!
-
- What I'm saying is what I have at work, I run with Win 3.1 but if memory
- serves me correctly, this is still applicable in 3.0 too
-
- Create a PIF file for your program and enable in the RESERVE KEYS
- section all those related to PRINT SCREEN (even those for shift, alt,
- and ctrl). It works for me, I too have to use the mainframe of the
- company and print out a few stuff...
-
- See You around the 'Net!!
