I have a curses program that has mulitple windows displayed at the
same time and I would like to do a screen dump of what appears on the
screen into a file.

I thought by using curscr I would be able to look at what is actually
displayed on the screen, but when I try to use curscr, the data is
null (I looked at curscr->_y[0] and it was NULL).

I thought curscr held the current screen image; I obviously was wrong.

So can anyone give me a clue on how to get the screen image?
