Hi,
I think the problem is that you can't take a snapshot from a secondary
monitor, not that it is complicated to define the area from which Ray
wants to take a snapshot.
Ray, I just did a test and I was able to use the import snapshot command
on Windows 8 on a secondary monitor. This is (still) impossible on Mac
OS X, but apparently it works in Windows 8.
Just execute "import snapshot" without additional parameters and let the
user select the rectangle.
(This means that my earlier claim that it doesn't work at all was wrong).

Could you overlay a blended (almost transparent) stack over the 2nd monitor
with handles on the corners so the user can drag them to the area they wish
to be snapshotted?

Interesting stuff Tom. I didn't know that about the working screenrects
(plural). This may be very useful in another situation but for this one I
need to get the rect from the user. Any ideas? (It's too much to import
the entire monitor.)

This will also work:
on mouseUp
import snapshot from rectangle ( line 2 of the working screenRects)
end mouseUp
