I'm trying to write a MACRO for MYXTRA-EXTRA! that will capture an incoming data stream to a file directly. Although I can do this using the Capture incoming data function on the menu option, what is the way to initiate and then terminate the capture through the macro?

Thanks.

How much data do you need to collect?  It's relatively easy to capture parts or all of a given screen.  What would be your triggers or reasons for starting/stopping the capture?

Here's how to capture and write a full screen to text on the session I use.

yourdata = yourscreen.Area(1,1,24,80)
    
Open "C:/blah/blah/yourfile.txt" For Output As #1
Write #1, yourdata
Close #1

you can also use a specific location in liu of the whole screen

The amount of data is variable. There is a stream of data that will take up one or more screens.
