[squeakland] Tools to Export Images from Etoys (eventually directly to a Blog Post)

[kharness at illinois.edu]

Steve,
This is a great tool! Thanks very much.
The shared flap version works well and I have images of a six page book with one click . . . very useful.
My computer is a Toshiba running Windows 7 Home Version. In one of my tries I got an abandon message which I attached.
Regards,
Kathleen
