Many programs will do what you ask. Flash-It comes to mind, a Control
Panel device that is well supported. The current version is 3.0.2.

Camera is a Desk Accessory that will also take screen shots while a menu
is pulled down. I believe that the program ScreenShot will NOT work if
you have a menu pulled down, so be careful.

Check out the archives at sumex.stanford.edu or mac.archive.umich.edu
for these programs.

Hope this helps.
