I seem to recall that I posed this subject once before but I can't find 
any reference to it so will try it again.  I dropped this project 
around a year ago and decided to pursue it again.

I have written a program that allows me to put in all the data 
concerning a Ham Radio contact along with a picture of my shack.  What 
I have on the screen I would like to send as an attachment to an e-mail 
  or as the e-mail itself.

What is the proper way to get the contents of a window into a new 
e-mail?

I know I can do it by taking a screen picture with Command-Shift-4 
which creates a PDF file but those things take a long time to send and 
it adds another step to the procedure.
