[comp.sys.sun] Screen dumps which include menus?

C.Eagle@massey.ac.nz (03/03/90)

Does anyone know how to take a dump of a sun screen, which includes a
pop-up menu?  When a menu is brought up, it appears to lock the scren so
that screendump/dumpregion etc cannot read it.

Thanks in advance,
Colin

No problem.  Try something like this:

	(sleep 5;  screendump >foo) &

You'll have 5 seconds to pop up your menu, then the screen will get dumped.
