You can capture the screen with AppleScript using the scripting addition "Sandi's Additions" (the a has an umlaut). Type TypeText "3" with Command and Shift to capture the whole screen with Command-Shift-3. There is also a MouseClick command that might allow you to automate capturing a portion of the screen with Command-Shift-4. # ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? # ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org
