Ken and Thomas,

Actually both "import snapshot" and "export snapshot" can be found as 
cards in the Transcript Dictionary of Rev. 2.1.2 and 2.2.B1.

This worked for me (from my script in my first reply of this thread) 
concerning the "import snapshot" command:

"put the windowID of this stack into StackID
 import snapshot from rect 197,145,1097,820 of window StackID"

I did not use  "export snapshot" so far, but will give it a try.
