    Well not sure for others, but I'd always pause the game and press the 'prt scr' button on the keyboard. Alt-Tab into windows, open paintbrush and paste (Ctrl+V). Save it and then Alt-Tab back into the game and continue hacking :)

    Thats right.
    If you press PrintScreen the game automatically creates a ScrnShot folder in your main game directory. The various pics you get are also stored so you dont have to take the hassel of renaming them or wondering if they got overridden.
