It is amazing what we've become used to using. Screen shot is an example. How many of use do this? I do it a few times/week. 

In CDE, Motiff, etc. you run a program in xterm to create the shot. For modern convenience you use convert to convert to PNG. 

"If I run the program in the xterm will I not also get the the xterm in the shot? " 

Yes you would. I suggest using 'sleep 5' before the command and minimize the xterm. :) 

CDE was not free in those days. I had 4 HP 7XX workstations in my spare bedroom with 21" tubes. All running HP-UX and CDE. Not being free probably explains whey there is not a plethora of free software out on the net for 'dt'.
