not sure this will really give you all you want, (no "buttons" in this
implementation--just a carriage return to signal "i'm done") but IF you 
have 3.2, run /usr/sbin/snapshot and check out the way i programmed the 
little "textport" window that comes up when you specify via the mouse 
that you wish to change the filename you want to save yer image out to.  
(see ~4Dgifts/iristools/imgtools/snapshot.c for the source).
a more rudimentary version of this "textport" derives from 
~4Dgifts/examples/grafix/prompt.c which has a main that simply invokes 
the psuedo-textport routine.
