Copy and Paste

I just began using a BasicStamp2 and I was wondering if there is a
way to copy the data that shows on the debug screen. Or if there
isn't, is there some set of commands to send the data into another
program like a MS Word or MS Excel? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Al

    If you read in the data with any terminal program (like Hyperterminal)
    you can log all the incoming data to a file. In Hyperterminal make a new
    connection that is 'direct to comX' then choose the 'capture text' option
    under the 'Transfer' button. It will prompt you for a file name to save the
    incoming text under. When you're done grabbing the data, read the file and
    you can cut and paste it into whatever program...

    Best, Duncan

    If you just want to print it, do an ALt + Print Screen to capture the
    active window. Open MSWord or Paint and paste it in with Ctrl + V. Then
    print as you normally would from your application.

    The software available from <http://www.selmaware.com/> may be
    helpful for your application. It is called S-plot, I think.
