I would like to be able to take a picture of a card and save it to the
clipboard.

I do not want to do this from applescript (cross platform thing). 

In hypercard I think I could get a picture of the card fairly easily.
I am sure it is possible in revolution. 
But I have not figured out how to yet!

Any ideas? Note, I do not want to take a picture of one card, i.e. I cannot
just do this by hand.

Some syntax from hypercard that does not appear to work:

show card picture of this card
show background picture of this card
hide card picture of this card
hide background picture of this card

showpict is in the documentation, but I have not yet used it succesfully 

show image1  of this card 
hide image1 
seem to have replaced hide card picture and show card picture.

Anyway, thanks for your ieas and suggestions!
