James,
Thanks for the clarification. To wit, I have had machines with either an old version of Real VNC or not having the setting of "send special keys . . ." selected. The time I found this out by working on machines that are failing or having some type of critical problem. Funny, but the BIOS on some of these "beige boxes" that are older and have flakey behavior, I have often wondered if that is/was part of the problem with the print screen thing. The OSK option has helped time and time again, and it has never been a problem with any of the afore mentioned situations I stated above. As a self-employed person, time is everything to me. Fooling with a options on a machine that is flaky is pointless, so "go with what I know will work the first time" is a matter of choice. Good options presented by others. I did not know about some of those options. Love Real VNC, and the Real VNC forum.

Thanks for this clarifiction. I have used Alt-PrintScreen for years and was not aware of this issue because I never had the viewer configured to "Send special keys directly to server." When I do configure it that way, and am running Xvnc on a Linux box, it allows me to save a .png of the active window to a .png file on the server. Good to know.
