     If your Jpeg viewer does not shut off access to NDA's, you can use
a utility like ClipIt.NDA to select all or part of the screen and
capture it to the Clipboard. Then, start Platinum Paint and do a Paste.
If the colors are wrong, you can select PP's Grayscale palette and have
your B/W pic ready to save in a standard GS graphics format.

     You can go to the Awks-GS Color panel and adjust each color in the
palette from black, through grays, to white. This is a lot of bother. 

     Once your pic is in some standard GS format, using Platinum Paint
and, if necessary, selecting the Grayscale palette is much easier. With
Platinum Paint you will have a full-featured paint utility to handle
drawing, typing any Text onto the graphic, etc..
