Re: [Tutor] How to capture 'Ctrl+c' in Python

Nevermind, I just realised my problem with the script I just sent. I'm using a laptop right now and the print screen key is FN+ Insert FN isn't mappable. Works fine on an external keyboard, so I guess I'll try one of the other recommendations. Thanks alot for the time guys. On 11/2/06, Chris H

[Tutor] Syntax Error? Variable Scope?
