The easiest way I find is to just use a 'screen shot' program (there are many free ones on the net). Take a snap shot and then adjust the size etc... and use them like that!
Thanks again R. van Twisk. That was my first venture into IRC. I am looking at the source code and seeing what I need to do to read it - if that is the correct phrase.
Thank you also for you suggestion clive. As a quick solution that works for me. I am still exploring the source code as well though.
