open the showpick.txt file with any text editor, eg,
notepad, (I use ultraedit). showpick.txt is in the Guide
main directory. everytime you right_click on the screen
the showpick file is updated. if I want to save something
from the current showpick, I just copy and paste into
another open text file. I used this feature last night
several times, worked like a charm, (THANKS Bill), although
ultraedit maybe makes it a tad easier in that you can have
several text files open at the same time.
