Hello

I don't think "Print Screen" is mentioned in NEWS file. What is
probably meant is the possibility to export graphics from Octave using
Matlab-compatible "print" function, for example:

  plot(randn(50,1))
  print('mychart.png')

will plot 50 normal random numbers and save the plot to file
"mychart.png". See also "help print" for more details (like which
formats are supported and other options).
