save_text_image() hasn't been implemented yet for WIN32.
I didn't think there was much demand for it. Unfortunately,
get_screen_char() and put_screen_char() haven't been
done for WIN32 either. (The docs aren't clear about this).
I'll try to do all three of these routines for WIN32
in the next release.

I guess you'll just have to keep track of what you've written
to the WIN32 console, or else use DOS32 (or Linux).

Maybe you should write a real Windows GUI program
using David Cuny's Win32Lib.
