I know how to save a bitmap, GIF though, that's a whole 'nother story. To save a bitmap, I believe all you have to do is say

Code:
savepicture <Image's Source, I used the .image part of a picturebox>, <The drive location you want to save it to>
That will do it I believe.

I just remembered I made a program that can do this, here: http://members.tripod.com/kokiri/ANSELMODraw.zip
