I heard that there is an easy way to dump the screen for the Machintosh to a MacPaint file, hold down the OPTION and COMMAND keys and press 4, but this is not working. Does anybody out there know the correct way to do this or the names of some good pubic domain or shareware programs that will take a snapshot or section of the Desktop and place in the clipboard or a MacPaint ( or similar ) file. Thanks in Advance - Dan Rubin

The "4" key has a "$" above it, and printouts cost money. I never again forgot which was which.
