       USAGE

       ssssaaaavvvveeee [_p_a_t_h_n_a_m_e]

       DESCRIPTION

       The ssssaaaavvvveeee and ffffeeeettttcccchhhh commands are your primary means of
       effecting transfer of image data between the program and the
       _U_n_i_x file system.  SSSSaaaavvvveeee writes an image to _p_a_t_h_n_a_m_e.  The
       image is written in such a way that it may be later
       retrieved with ffffeeeettttcccchhhh with all of its attributes intact.

       When given without an argument the image will be given the
       filename defined in the startup configuration file
       (ECHO_SAVE_PATH and ECHO_DEFAULT_NAME).  If an explicit
       pathname is not specified then the image will be stored in
       the directory specified by the startup variable
       ECHO_SAVE_PATH.  If this variable is undefined, or _p_a_t_h_n_a_m_e
       begins with a directory pathname (/, ./, ../, ~/ or ~_u_s_e_r/),
       the given pathname will be used as is.

       If the image is a color image, a second file will be created
       with the extention .color.

       A _p_a_t_h_n_a_m_e of the form ~~~~////_p_a_t_h_n_a_m_e or ~~~~_u_s_e_r////_p_a_t_h_n_a_m_e may be
       used to reference an image in your or another user's home
       directory respectively.

       A basic familiarity with the _U_n_i_x filesystem is assumed.
