All Puppy versions will usually have some program for doing this listed in Application Menu -> Graphic
Most will have Take a Shot
But there are others around this forum.
There is one that all Puppies usually have, but not well known it can do this.
MtPaint program
Some Puppy versions may have the print screen key set to make MtPaint take an image and open it displaying the image for edit in MtPaint.

if you have mtpaint, you can type (paste) in a terminal:
Code: Select all
sleep 10 ; mtpaint -s
which gives you 10 seconds then takes a screen shot.
then an mtpaint window pops up.
you can process the picture if you like,
for example, you can select part of the picture
then click Image -> crop
then click File -> Save as
Note:
You need to do this to not have the terminal window in the image.
after clicking enter to activate the command code.
If you make sure to minimize the terminal window, before the image is made. (have 10 seconds after clicking enter)
That works to not have the terminal in the image.
