The Keys you need are as follows:

APPLE/COMMAND + SHIFT + 3
The keys are highlighted below.

Hold press and hold in that order. You should hear a snapshot sound. I will be taking a screenshot of Pawngame chat.

Shift ⇧ + Command ⌘+ 4 will change your cursor to cross-hairs. You can just drag a box around the area you want to screen capture.

I guess that launching Utilities/Grab is just too complicated for the average Mac user?

I set F11 to screenshot on my iMac and iBook.
