About the SNAP Command
The SNAP command is useful for taking a snapshot of a screen display. Screen snapshots are files that hold the text and the screen attributes of any screen that appears in R:BASE. You can also create a snapshot with the Take a Snapshot option from the Utilities menu in R:BASE for Windows.
When you use SNAP command, it produces a file that contains the screen text and images. You cannot edit this file with the R:BASE editor. In R:BASE for Windows, when you use the Take a Snapshot option from the Utilities menu, the current screen is captured in bitmap form in the Windows Clipboard Viewer.
Only snapshot files that are created with the SNAP command can be displayed with the DISPLAY command. You can include a drive or directory with the file name if the file is not stored in the current drive and directory. The screen image looks exactly as it appeared when the snapshot was taken.
