Export PNG weirdness

Update:
I can of course make this work by grabbing the relevant portion of
screen (rather than specifying the field):
put globalloc (Topleft of field fname) into tl
put globalloc (botright of field fname) into br
export snapshot from rect tl,br to file imgPath as PNG
But this is a bit risky as I can't guarantee that there will be
nothing on top of the field (e.g. floating palette) or that the field
will completely contained on screen.
