   After reading the remarks here it's apparent "screensaver"s save the screen 
from the results of continued and needless display of the same image. Ah so... 
I was looking for a program enabling pressing a key & having the screen's 
image placed in a file for later recall. Snapshot maybe? Imagesave? What's the 
suitable term?
   Also, any suggestion on a Linux system that isn't hindered with ubuntu's 
sudo or ubuntu's witholding the administrator's password? One that has the 
"snapshot" (...) capability, too. And one that can be "housed" in a usb flash 
and booted when needed.
