Print Screen.

Or Alt+Print Screen to just get the front-most window.

I don't want it to print, though. Somebody made me a Hybrid Link Fan userbar, but when I tried to save it, it didn't show up. I want to take a screenshot, go into MS paint and size it down so that only the bar is showing, and photobucket it.

Oh, and it's a different bar than the one in my sig.

Print Screen sends the screenshot to the clipboard. It doesn't actually print anything out on a printer.

If you're using GIMP, there's a "screenshot" item in one of the menus, and you can capture a specific window too. Works on all OSes I've used so far.

No, F12 is for ZC only, in Zquest it's simply Z. The F12 key there brings up the enemy flags dialog.

Random fact: Users of QWERTZ keyboards and the DOS versions of Zquest will have to use Y instead. No idea what it is on Mac OS, but if one doesn't work try the other.

The Mac (classic and OS X) screenshot hotkey is command-shift-3, by the way.

F12 takes snapshots in the tile editor of ZQuest.
