Saving, printing, and displaying apple iie screens – Apple IIe Card User Manual
Page 142
Sometimes you may wish to have a “snapshot” of something that’s on
your Apple IIe screen. You might want to save an image to use in a
Macintosh program, to illustrate an instructional manual you are writing,
or to show someone a problem you’re having with an Apple II program.
The Option Panel has several commands in the File and Edit menus that
allow you take snapshots of your Apple II screens, as explained in the
next three sections.
To save a snapshot of what’s currently on your Apple IIe screen, follow
these steps:
1. Open the Option Panel by pressing Control-
x-Esc.
2. Choose the Save IIe Screen command from the File menu.
3. Type a name for the file.
You can also use the usual ways to specify which disk and folder the
file should be saved in.
4. Click Save.
The file is saved on your disk. The files can be opened by any program
that can understand PICT files. Most Macintosh drawing programs can
understand PICT files. (Most painting programs cannot.)
5. Click Continue to return to your Apple IIe work, or click
Quit IIe to return to the Macintosh environment.
