Real easy to do.  There are a couple of CDAs and INITs available to save
the screen; you should be able to ftp them from one of the ftp sites.
Alternatively, to you do it from BASIC:

 - Get picture on screen and reboot under ProDOS 8 to BASIC.SYSTEM.

 - Create a file to store the picture in (CREATE PIC, T$C1).

 - Pull the screen up on the screen (CALL -151, then C029: C1).

 - Move it down to bank 0 (00/1000<E1/2000.E1/9FFFM).

 - And save it (BSAVE PIC, T$C1, A$1000, L$7FFF).

Note that this saves simply as a $C1 uncompressed image.  If you need it
in $C0 format, you can load the $C1 file with something like PW Gold and
then resave it as Apple Preferred.
