Command-shift-3 takes a screen snapshot in MacPaint format, if you are in
black-and-white and if your main screen isn't too large.
In System 7, Command-shift-3 takes a screen snapshot of your entire
desktop, regardless of color depth, size, or number of screens. It is
saved as a PICT file, which can be read and displayed by (among others)
TeachText. TeachText will also allow you to select rectangles from the
picture and copy them to the clipboard. (The funny sound you hear when you
take the snapshot is the sound of a camera's shutter. :-)
