I have just bought a new program from MicroHelp that will do just what
you want. Unfortunately I have only had it 2 days and have just had
time to scan the manual. From what I  have read so far I can tell you
it will allow you to run a memory resident program that will capture
any screen ( text or graphics, not ega) to a separate file each time
you press the shift/PrtSc key[C.

The package includes separate programs for editing screen files
and for generating assembler/basic/turbo pascal/dbase files which
can be used in other programs.  It also will let you create slide show
and demo programs of screens collected.

Pretty neat huh ?

P.S. Microhelp advertizes in DDJ, and other fine computer mags and
I have no affiliation with them apart from owning a couple of their
I nearly forgot - the prog is called Screen Machine and costs $79.95
programs.
