    Why don't you just press <Shift> + <Command> + <3> which is the command
    used by every mac system since about 4.x and upwards to copy the screen to
    a MacPaint or PICT file depending on what version of the system you are
    using. This can be then edited in any decent graphics package.

    An alternative is to use a shareware program called Flash-it which turns
    the mouse into a cross-haired pointer that looks like a plus sign then you
    just select what you want to be put in the file or be sent to the printer
    by clicking and dragging to surround the object(s) you want to capture.

Andrew,
