CPO

1.0;cpscr (copy_screen), revision 1.0, 82/09/30
CPSCR (COPY_SCREEN) -- Copy the current display to a file.
usage:  CPSCR pathname [-INV]


FORMAT

  CPSCR pathname [-INV]


  CPSCR  copies  the  current screen image (without clearing it) to the file you
  specify. Use the PRF (PRINT_FILE) command with the -PLOT option to  print  the
  file.

  Use  the Display Manager command CPO to copy the screen without creating a new
  process window or changing the current transcript pad.  CPO invokes the  CPSCR
  command  from  the  Display  Manager  without creating a pad or window.  Thus,
  press <CMD> then type:

    CPO /COM/CPSCR pathname


ARGUMENTS

  pathname
  (required)         Specify file to which the screen is copied.


OPTIONS

  -INV               Invert image.  Use  this  option  to  store  the  image  in
                     reverse  video.  Black screen pixels become white and white
                     screen pixels become black.


EXAMPLES

  1. $ cpscr //us/looky_there -inv   Invert and copy the current screen
                                      image to the specified file.  Since
                                      the command line is echoed in the
                                      Shell's process transcript pad prior
                                      to execution, this command will
                                      appear in the resulting image.

  2. <CMD>
     Command: cpo /com/cpscr //us/looky_there -inv

                                     Same result as in example 1,
                                      but the CPSCR line will not
                                      appear in the plotted output.
