Print Screen

Have you ever noticed that obscure button on your keyboard labeled Print Screen/SysRq? Did you ever wonder what it does?

In the old days before Windows, that button would output screen contents to a printer. Today, it no longer performs that function. Now, pressing Alt-PrtScr stores an image of the screen to memory; it can then be pasted into a Word document or into a graphics program such as Windows' Paint utility by pressing Control-V. It's handy to use when you want to capture a screen error message, for instance, that you can save and send to someone for assistance.
