Taking a screenshot using VMWare Fusion

I need to take a couple of screenshots and mail to a company support.

How do I do this with Fusion? Snapshot seems to be something else (at least I don't see anything happen when trying it).

I'm using a Logitech wireless keyboad, so there are Windows key and F1 to F12, PrintScreen, Pause/Break, etc.

If possibe, I'd like to save it on my Mac desktop, to make it easier to find and mail to the support

Thanks in advance!

Note: When you do a Screenshot that saves to a file it's placed on your Desktop as "Picture n.png" (Where "n" is a number.)

You can use Snagit or even use Camtasia Studio to capture screen.

I'd also like to know how to use PrintScreen and Alt PrintScreen capabilities built into Windows.

Since I'm using a Mac Keyboard, there is no PrintScreen button.
