from the HP 16500C drive to your computer.
These graphics files contain the current display on the HP 16500C screen. The
contents of the files change whenever you change the display. When you copy
one of the graphics files, the display will freeze for a few moments while the
HP 16500C is copying the current display.

the following command at the UNIX command prompt:
$ cp /logic/system/graphics/screen.pcx {local path name}
