You can copy any Con-nect screen to the Con-nect editor ("Modify Document-name" screen). You can then modify the copy of the screen and treat it like a document.
For example, you can SEND a copy of your calendar screen to another user, or FILE a copy of a "Contents of Folder" screen as a document for recording purposes.
The message line of a screen (i.e. the line directly above the command line) is not copied.
This document covers the following topics:
To copy the current Con-nect screen, issue the following command:
SNAPSHOT
As a result, a copy of the current screen is automatically transferred to the "Modify Document-name" screen. For example, if you issue the SNAPSHOT command in a calendar screen, the copy might look like the following:

See Text Processing for detailed information on the Con-nect editor.
When you QUIT the "Modify Document-name" screen, the snapshot is stored in your default folder, but does not have a unique name. All snapshots are listed in the "Display Documents by Name" screen with the label "(Snapshot)".
If you work with a lot of snapshots it is advisable to rename the snapshot, e.g. by issuing the editor command "RENAME name" while the "Modify Document-name" screen is displayed, or by issuing the FILE command and entering a document name in the "File" window. The snapshot now appears under its new name in the "Display Documents by Name" screen. You can treat it as any other document, refer to it by name and use all commands which apply to documents.
