But Grab also lets you capture a screen with dropped menus, great if
you are creating a "how to do" illustration.

click on the menu and while it's down, hit cmd-shift-4, then drag to
select whatever you want, or tap space to select just the menu itself.

The keyboard shortcuts are still documented in Mac Help on Tiger.

Try searching for "keyboard shortcuts" or "screen shortcuts", or go to the index
ans look under "S" for "Screen Shots". The results for any of those should
include "Shortcuts for taking pictures of the screen", which describes the
keystrokes.
