On the terminals I am familiary with, there is some sort of prin screen
key. The steps to do what you want could be broken down into a few simple
steps:
1. Figure out what sequence of characters turns on the aux port of
your terminal. Perhaps a terminfo type database for your program could
work.
2. Send a byte stream to your terminal that gets sent back out the aux port
(see step 1).
I have seen a program like this somewhere, but can remember how.
