Well, the comment was condemning "export snapshot", not "import
snapshot"; import snapshot suffers many of the same problems, though as
the TD states: "if the window is partly overlapped by another window,
whatever is visible on the screen within that rectangle is placed in the
snapshot". Basically, it literally takes a screen capture, whereas the
tip at
http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/revolution.htm?_imag007.ht
m is not doing a screen capture; it is reading directly from the
window's image buffer to create the export.

Just a clarification,
