You should just have to "wset" to the window whose display you want to
save....you'll have to keep track of the window id's of course:

n_windows = 4
for i = 0, n_windows - 1 do begin
window, /free
if ( i eq 0 ) then $
window_id = !d.window $
else $
window_id = [ window_id, !d.window ]
endfor

and then plot/image stuf in them you can output them all in turn

for i = 0, n_windows - 1 do begin
wset, window_id[ i ]
write_jpeg, .....etc.
endfor

Of course the above is only an (poor) example.

Liam Gumley's website (http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/~gumley) contains IDL
info and a neato bunch of utilities to save your window to a GIF, JPEG,
etc file. I believe the utility is called saveimage.pro or something
like that. Takes the guesswork out of doing that sort of stuff.
Unfortunately the UW-Madison/SSEC server seems to be down or having
problems.
