Save and Recall Snapshots from VST Plugins

This may seem like a ridiculous question, but I can't figure out how the save and recall snapshot buttons work. They don't seem to save the parameters as a message, and there doesn't seem to be the "Device Snapshot Manager" as there is in Max for Live.

Has anyone else figured this one out yet?

Thanks!

"Parameter state may also be saved as a snaphot. Snapshots can be taken from the Parameters window, accessed form the View menu. Click the camera icon to take a snapshot."

except the vst~ help file isn't very effective with these new audio unit plugins, unfortunately. there is a save and recall snapshot button built into these Max 7 AU's, but they don't do anything. Hitting the "snapshot" message won't do anything, and there's no outlet for a snapshot data dump, either as a saved file or a message that could be set.
