What is the simplest way to save and restore a picture using C and GEM?
I'd like to be able to save a picture from the screen bitmap on a file,
and later have my C program put it back on the screen when I need it. From 
the documentation I have it is not at all clear how to do that.  Is there
a library routine, or combination of routines that do that
(semi-)automatically?

In particular, I'd like the draw the picture with Easy-Draw, store it on
file, and later call that picture up in a window I created. Any pointers
would be most welcome.
