	The background is this. I have a Microsoft Mouse with its Doodle
Software. MacPaint it's not, but its good.  The problem is that the doodle
Graph files are incompatible with anything, and would like to display them
as a memory image using BSAVE/BLOAD.  Microsoft will not give me the
information to translate the files (I really didn't expect them to), so I
was wondering if I could do the following:

	Do a screen dump with Shift-PrtSc and re-route the information
to a disk file, then do a reverse Printer-Dump (from the Information to 
the printer, reconstruct the screen).

	Can I do that directly? Easily?
	If it helps, I have a QuadBoard with its Print Spooler. If anyone
can tell me how that works, I might be able to turn the Spool into a file.

	If you can help, send mail or post only to net.micro.pc (not .micro
too)
			Thanks in Advance,
