Thanks. Import was installed on my RH 7.3 machine. I like this one for its
commandline control over file names and storage types.

IIRC RedHat installs a program named "import" in it's default install.

You can capture the entire screen, or just one window.

There are other solutions (The Gimp, etc.) for grabbing screenshots.

Cheers,
