  To be able to take screen snapshots you need to tell the Mac to use
  2-color graphics, apparently the snapshot program does not handle more
  than one bit-plane.  One way to do this is to go to the control-panel and
  select Monitors.  Set the Mac to 2-color.  Now the Mac will take
  snap-shots and store them in the usual MacPaint files named screen 0-9.
