I probably glossed over that in the past as I became familiar with OS X. 
  I typically (almost always) Shift-CMD-4 and it's popped into 
downloads, and that's it.  Good enough.  So I never improved on the 
matter.  I like what you suggest even more (occasionally screenshot 
stuff to message off to someone).

I thank Ant for bringing this up - never know what we'll learn from it!

Now, can I tell you about running with swap disabled ....   <runs>
