  The  XI command copies a display image into a graphics map file (GMF).  If you

  entire window where the cursor is positioned.  You can print the GMF using the
  PRF Shell command with the -PLOT option.

                     be copied as described in HELP DM RANGE.

OPTIONS

                     image  is  written to `NODE_DATA/PASTE_BUFFERS/DEFAULT.GMF.
                     You can print the GMF using the PRF Shell command with  the
                     -PLOT option.
