Syntax
SAVESNAP bitmap filename
SAVESNAP bitmap filename.BMP
SAVESNAP bitmap filename.PCX
(SAVESNAP bitmap)
Explanation
SAVESNAP saves a bit map file directly on the disk. SAVESNAP outputs TRUE if the file is successfully saved; otherwise, it outputs FALSE. SAVESNAP saves graphics images in PCX format. They can be viewed with LOADSNAP or LOADPIC. SAVESNAP appends .PCX to your filename unless you specify otherwise.
Drive specifiers (A:, B:, etc.) can be used with SAVESNAP. All colons used in a drive name must be preceded with backslash (\). If a drive is not specified, SAVESNAP saves the file on the currently selected drive.
If SAVESNAP is enclosed in parentheses without inputs or if the file name contains any wildcard characters (*, ?, etc.), a dialog box appears which lets you specify the file to save.
SAVESNAP can also save .BMP (Windows bitmap) format files.
