I forgot that in my version of "screen.inc" I added a macro called
"Get_Screen_XY" that takes any 3D scene coordinate as input and outputs
the 2D screen coordinate, normalized between 0 and 1. This makes things
super simple! I just list whatever points I want to project, and then
write the 2D locations to a text file.
I've attached "screen.inc" to this post.
