You've only seen half of it. You can select rectangular sections and copy
them (great for making icons). My IIcx has a portrait monochrome screen and
a 19" colour screen, and the CMD-Shift-3 dump was a complete image of both
screens as a continuous bitmap. Teachtext is a bit slow about manipulating the
resulting 300K bitmaps (but Apple has to sell the fx somehow?). It can
now open any PICT format file, but with no editing capability.
