Here's my idea:
Write an AD module which does nothing to the screen, but patches
_Postevent to filter keypresses. Upon seeing the key you've picked, it
loads and executes the FKEY 3 code. Then, use Multimodule in After
Dark to combine the picture-taking module with the one you want to
take pictures of. Now when you run the combined module, you can click
away.
Anybody care to write this? Shouldn't take more than an hour or so.

One of the flaws in the anarchic bopper society was
the ease with which such crazed rumors could spread.
