Re: Clipboard copy for including Client Access 5250 screens in documentation

[Jerome Draper <jdraper@xxxxxxx>]

Both Synapse WinAPPC and NetWolf clients have a text oriented feature
called Screen Capture that can be turned on and off when it is saved to a
.txt file (no bit maps).  The .txt file can then be opened with any word
processor and annotated as necessary.  It is available from the action bar
or the Session drop down menu.

Regards,


Jerry
