It won't be of any help to you - but you can do it in Aubit4GL :-), there is
extensive support for screen dumping including the dump_screen function, and
dump screen key (and output filter)...



Heres some code that we use though for compatibility testing (IIRC - this
one
is a heavily modified version of something in the IIUG software
repository) :

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.p...12&view=markup



It takes one or two parameters

call aclfgl_dump_screen("filename")

or

call aclfgl_dump_screen("filename",mode)

where mode is an integer :

0 = Dump character and first 8 bytes of attribute
1 = Dump just characters
2 = not used...
3 = use curses scr_dump function call


As it stands, the function automatically appends '.infx' to the filename....
