	Looks like 'import' is part of ImageMagick:

	From man import::


AUTHORS
       John Cristy, ImageMagick Studio LLC,
       Glenn Randers-Pehrson, ImageMagick Studio LLC.

       Lives in the /usr/local/bin directory.  

       If you do an % import test.jpeg and then position the "+"
       cursor and draw out the rectangle with the left mousebutton,
       import will capture a JPEG image of thar rectangle.  

       Thanks for the reminder; I'm making notes this time...
