OK. Let's go through this step by step. I have installed links, and I
already had screen installed.
I ran "screen".
Inside that, I ran "links http://www.google.com/";.
Once the main page of Google loaded, I pressed Ctrl-A h
Screen prompted me for something like a filename, but it seemed to remove
the prompt within a couple seconds, before I could copy it for email
documentation purposes. (I *hate* it when things don't give me time to
read and ponder a question or an error message.)
Because I didn't respond quickly enough to the prompt, screen assumed an
answer, and generated a file named "hardcopy.0" in the current working
directory.
unicorn:~$ ls -l hardcopy.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 greg greg 532 Sep 17 11:39 hardcopy.0
If I cat this file, I see a copy of the text that's visible in the
screen window, minus the boldface, reverse video and so on. It's just
the characters.
Finally, I exited from links, and then from screen.
