Screen and Window Capture

In OS9 the operating systems allows for screen capture into PICT format files by either of the following:

Hold the <command><shift> and 3 keys down at the same time to capture the entire screen.
Hold the <command><shift> and 4 keys down at the same time to capture a selection of the screen - the cursor will change to a cross hair that you click and then drag across the area of the screen that you wish to capture.

The icons for the file will appear in the hard disk - you will need to double click the hard disk to find them. By default they will open in TextEdit.

In OSX the operating systems allows for screen capture into PDF format files by any of the following:

Hold the <command><shift> and 3 keys down at the same time to capture the entire screen.
Hold the <command><shift> and 4 keys down at the same time to capture a selection of the screen - the cursor will change to a cross hair that you click and then drag across the area of the screen that you wish to capture.
Hold the <command><shift> and 4 keys down at the same time, then hit the space bar, then click on the window that you wish to capture with the camera cursor.

The files will be placed on the users desktop. In order to get graphic files from the pdf files you will need to open the files in Preview and the export them into graphics files using the pull down menu file -> export.

A better screen capture in the OSX world is the Grab application that comes with the OSX system (look for it in the Applications Folder).

An even better screen capture program (my favorite) is the Free-ware application SnapNDrag that can be obtained from Yellow Mug Software at http://www.yellowmug.com/
