I need a utility, preferrable PD, that let me "grab" a part of the screen and save it as a file (MacPaint, MacDraw format...) Can anyone point me to one? Thanks in advance, email answers to tope@enea.se

Isn't it nice to find out that you *already have* this utility built in
to your System file? I was checking this out just the other day-
Command-Shift-3 prints the entire screen to a MacPaint file!
And of course from there you can use MacPaint to pick out the section you
want.
For reference, the other built in "F-keys" are
Command-Shift-4 prints the screen to an attached printer
(although I think it bypasses Page Setup and the normal
print dialog, and if the printer isn't really there or
it's turned off it doesn't come back and tell you)
Command-Shift-4 prints a single window in the same way.
with Caps Lock
Command-Shift-1 ejects (like command-E) a floppy in drive 0.
Command-Shift-2 ejects a floppy in drive 1.
Command-Shift-0 ejects a floppy in drive 2.
(It's not obvious what drives 0,1, and 2 are- I suppose it depends on
your configuration. I know that a Plus knows its one internal drive
as "drive 0".)
