 *   Dump the screen shot to a file by calling the machine specific external
 * program with the right options.  (Actually, someday the routines might
 * be put here as well; your preference.)

// Basically, I already know the screen parameters since I'm a DisplayDevice,
// and I got the info from "display".  It is just a matter of constructing
// the correct string.
