Having just RTFM (:->), I see that _one_ possibility is to use [PrtSc]
to dump the screen to the clipboard, and then save the clipboard to disk.
However, to make this feasable, I need to know the format of the resulting
.CLP file.  Can anyone help?  I am tempted just to start hacking it (it
looks like a nice big bitmap, maybe 3 bytes/pixel for R/G/B?), but will
probably wait in case someone else has some info to make my life easier.

Ideas, comments, file formats or code are extremely welcome, as is
information about commercial products to let me edit the image and
save it in a usable format (colour GIF, TIFF, bitmap).
