I have this PD INIT I got from the BCS/Mac PD libraries
called MenuPicture that patches the menu manager so as
to register keypresses while menus are being pulled down.  This then allows
you to hit the FKEY and get the screendump.  I'll email it to you as soon
as I get it uploaded to Unix (ie today or tomorrow), or I'll post it if
there is enough interest.
