Parameter  Description

BL         Specifies the ASCII drive letter for the swap drive (such as A,
           B, or C). This register contains 0FFh if no swap drive is
           available.
 
DS         Specifies the segment address of the grabber (CS and DS registers
           are equal).
 
ES:DI      Points to the path template for Windows temporary-file format.
 
Return Value
 
This function has no return value.
 
Comments
 
The next call to the following SaveScreen function uses the given swap drive
letter to open the swap file, if needed. Failure to call this function at
least once before SaveScreen may result in a failure to switch the video
context. This drive and path information is stored as a static value and
need not be set before every call to SaveScreen.
