[net.micro.att] 5620 DMD: to print screen image in stand-alone environment ?

qing@uscvax.UUCP (Qing Li) (02/05/86)

  Is there any way to print the screen image of 5620 DMD terminal on
a 3B2 Computer dot-matrix printer (or preferably, on a IBM PC dot-matrix
printer) in stand-alone environment?  Is there any "screendump" and "lpg" 
commands available in stand-alone environment now?  Any suggestions or 
directions are very much appreciated!

Unless you have built a screen-dump subroutine into the stand-alone
program that is running in your DMD, I am afraid you are stuck.
Any attempt to load another stand-alone program into the DMD will
clobber the display.

It would be nice if there were a screen dump feature built into the
5620 firmware (accessible via SET-UP), but as of 8;7;5 there isn't.
