# Screen Capture

> [HTML Version](screencapture.htm)

INFLD supports the keyboard command (Control-P) to capture a picture (or "snapshot") of the screen; see [Screen Pictures](screenpictures.htm.md). To use this capability under program control, use [MX\_SCRNPIC](mx_scrnpic.htm.md).

**Having INFLD Generate Automatic Snapshots**

If you specify the _type_ code **|S** (vertical bar, capital S) in an INFLD call, it will automatically generate a screenshot (appending it to the current BUF file) on exit from the field. By adding SBR=INFDEF:|S to miame.ini, you can arrange to create a "slide show" of an entire session. This can be helpful for creating documentation, or for monitoring background processes, or for "snooping" on users (or simply for filling up the disk and creating useless system overhead.)
