<filename> is a string that must be enclosed in single (') or double (")
quotes.
<device> must be A or C. Upper or lower case is acceptable. If device

<name> must be 1 to 8 characters in length and consist only of the
characters a..z, A..Z and 0..9 (no underscore). If a name is not
specified the default is screen1.
<.extension> must be .gif|.bmp|.wmf. (Note the lower case.) If a file
type extension is not specified the default is set by
MMEM:STORE:SCREEN:FILE:TYPE
Example: MMEM:STOR:SCR “C:myscreen.gif”
Remarks: When writing to A, <name> can be any valid
DOS-compatible name.
When writing to C, <name> must be screen1 . . .
screen6. (Note the lower case.)
If you write a file to C any existing screen file with the
same name will be replaced, regardless of the
extensions. For example, file screen3.gif will replace file
screen3.bmp
