I think you can extract the contents of a standard 80x25 vga display with 
peek({#B800, 4000}) -- 80x25 = 2000 characters, but each character 
also comes with an extra byte which stores the color attributes. 
To extract just the text, use a loop by 2.

You could probably do the same thing with save_text_image()
