Yes, links is the browser to which I am referring.
As stated, I am attempting to help a site owner troubleshoot an issue,
that I experience using links, the browser. I know a great deal about
running this browser, but have never needed to capture information for
someone else, who relies on sight, instead of speech.
If there is not a clear screenshot command, then perhaps the trace file
generated by lynx the cat, another browser, will help them.

Hi Karen
When you refer to 'links' in the subject, do you mean the browser
documented at:
http://links.twibright.com/user_en.html
The version of this browser in Debian stable is 2.21.
Is that what you are asking about?
If I look at the website of that project, it does have some screenshots,
but they look like they are all created outside of links itself.
When I read through the above documentation trying to help you, I did
not notice any mention of screenshots.
It is difficult to help you further without a more specific
description of
exactly what you are asking.
For example...
The 'links' software can be run either:
1) natively in a GUI (graphical user interface)
2) in a virtual terminal running in a GUI
3) in a Linux console using a text UI
Screenshots can be made in any of those situations, but the method of
taking a screenshot will depend on which of those user interfaces you are
using.
If using #3, I would try running 'links' inside 'screen', which according
to its manpage offers a keystroke to "write a hardcopy of the current
window to a file", although I have not tested it.
'screen' is packaged for Debian.
Are you using Debian?
Similar comments might apply if you mean something different by
'links', as
I asked in my opening question.
Further assistance or more specific guidance might be possible if you
provide the information requested.
I remain hopeful that you will reply to my previous message.
I do not understand why you do not simply use the button on your
computer keyboard; if you cannot easily use a Take Screenshot
application within whatever operating system you are using to view the
web page, on a standard 101 key USA format keyboard, in the top row of
keys, above the arrow keys, is a key with ""PrtScr" on it. Press that,
and see what happens, and, reply, stating whether that produces the
result that you want.
If you are not using a standard 101 key USA format keyboard, examine the
keys on your keyboard, and look for a key that has the label "PrtScr" or
"Print Screen", and, try that.
