    Snapped from the docs for "snap"...

$     h. Snap snaps graphics.                                                  
$     i. Snap uses the clipboard, making it compatible with TxED (and NotePad).

    However, as has been said by others before, snapping graphics to
    a file and then loading that file as a brush or picture is a simple
    and straightforward operation, which can be done with all
    applications concerned loaded and running.

    What would be nice is a way to command Snap to save a picture through
    ARexx, which could then be loaded into a paint program also using
    ARexx.
