I have an RS6000/320 with a color monitor and a postscript printer.  I can
print files with no problem.  Can anyone tell me how to print the contents
of a window, however.  I have tried to dump the window to a file using the
xwd utility either in the form   xwd -out temp -xy    or without the -xy.
I have then tried to print file temp using the xpr utility with -device ps.
In both cases I get the error message from xpr "color windows not
supported."  I've looked in Info Explorer for an AIX utility for printing
the contents of a window or dumping a window in a file in postscript
format, but I haven't found anything.  Surely there must be a way to do
such a basic function.  I'd appreciate help.
