In order to take a screenshot:

Click and hold Shift-Ctrl-Command with your left hand.  Press the 4 key with your right hand.  You will see the cursor change to a crosshair.  Select and drag the rectangular window you wish to capture.  When you release the mouse it will copy the picture to your clipboard which you can then paste (Command-V) into any application.
Note: If you want to create a file as opposed to copying it to the clipboard use Command-Shift and then press 4.  This will save picture to desktop.

Viewing Shortcuts - these are powerful (You may need to hold the Function key down as well)
