How do I save what's on the screen to a .jpg or .bmp file?

I think you can use tools like imagemagick or the gimp. �DSL's base image used to include xpaint, which could as well afaik.

I'm pretty sure there are other solutions if you look around.

Mtpaint can do that (select New -> grab screenshot)

Also, the menu option "grab screenshot" takes one in the native X format (xwd), into your home folder. It is viewable by clicking on it in Dfm, but you need imagemagick / netpbm / other image programs to convert it into other formats.
