As for creating PNG files, he can simply just "draw" on the screen (via the geometry app or by a program). and save the screenshot into a picture using the AFiles() command. You can get the syntax using the Help button (type AFiles and leave the cursor at the the end of the name, then press the Help key).

For example:

AFiles("screenshot.png"):=G0 saves the graphics buffer G0 (current screen) into a file named screenshot.png -- this is saved under the current app. There are other buffers (G1 through G9) that can be used as well. Start by declaring the buffer size with DIMGROB (or DIMGROB_P) and then "draw" onto that buffer. Save as shown above with the screenshot example.

Hope that helps.
