In Soviet Russia, environment destroys you!

Germany learned this the hard way.

If you're on a PC, it's [Fn + printscreen.] then open up MS paint and hit "paste."
On a mac, it's APPLE + SHIFT + 3 for a full screen shot, and APPLE + SHIFT + 4 for a partial, selectable shot.

They're keys. Look at your keyboard. If it's similar to mine, there should be one which says Fn down towards the lower left. Printscreen is probably labelled PrtSc or something like that, possibly with SysRq under it, and may be found towards the upper right. Press them together, and they will copy the screen into your clipboard. Then, open MS paint and either go to the edit menu and select "paste" or press the key labelled Ctrl (lower left) and the one labelled c (which you should be able to find). That should give you a screenshot, which you can then save.
