Hi Charlie, >I am trying to capture the screen via USR GETPICT but the result, >obtained via PICTURE in a GWorld, always comes out in black and white >only. I've about pulled my hair out trying to debug a similar problem about 9 months ago. In your code example (at the bottom) you set fore color and back color before doing the COPYBITS statement. The fore and back color must also be set to black and white before using the USR GETPICT statement. If the color are not set to fore color = black and back color = white you will get some very bizarre results. If you are not changing the values of the fore and back colors this probably is not the solution but give it a try. Good luck.
