How to snapshot fullscreen programs like Softimage|3D
I want to take a snapshot of the Softimage|3D interface with IRIX's built-in "snapshot" program, but when I open Softimage, it goes into fullscreen and the snapshot button is inaccessible. Any help?

easy. 

Step 1.  alt+F3 to drop the Softimage program into the background - make sure your console window open
step 2.  in the shell, type "sleep 20; scrsave NameOfMyAwesomeScreenshot.rgb"
step 3.  you have 20 seconds (or whatever you specify in your sleep command) to mouse over your Softimage application that is lowered, and type alt+F1
step 4.  wait 20 seconds or whatever for the screenshot to be captured
step 5.  show off your awesome screenshots
