Neat, learnt something new (PS in OS 9, you can do the same thing as with space by having the caps-lock key down). > I had forgotten about that method to take screen shots, thanks Frank. > It is kind of strange that PDF is the default file format.

I will sometimes not bother doing things if it requires even one click ;) (& as I mentioned above, I find the placement and utility of the 'application' menu useless, but I guess navigating the sub-menus is less of a hassle than converting a screen snapshot...). Why doesn't Apple use the Image Capture app for the screen snapshots (seems kind of dumb to have the same functionality done by two different sets of code)?
