Hi folks,
Does the browser have  the ability to create a screenshot after a fashion?

Full disclosure: I have never used the "links" text browser.

I very quickly searched the following page for any indication that the
links browser has a function analogous to lynx's "print to file", but
saw none:

http://links.twibright.com/user_en.html

If I wanted to do what you describe using the links browser, I would
try to use GNU screen to make what the GNU screen man page calls a
"hardcopy".

That is, I would

 1. First, start GNU screen in a terminal, and then
 2. in that screen session I would launch links,
 3. then navigate to the page I wanted to screenshot,
 4. and finally, use screen to make a "hardcopy" of the content of that terminal window.

Need to document something for a site owner that will show for them, even if my screen reader presents it differently.
Thanks,
Karen
