Tip to all:

If most of you are like me, you probably don't read the NEW system stuff in
detail. By accident, I discovered that Cmd/Shft/4 allowed me to "selectively"
save screen shots. I had used Cmd/Shft/3 for years, but this new one saves me a
lot of intermediate steps. I have no idea when it was first introduced, and I
seem to recall that Cmd/Shft/4 used to be the one that sent the screen image
directly to the printer.
