Screenshots in Classic?

How can I take a screenshot in Classic?
When I press the Option-Sym-P combo, I get a pop up message about the Alt key (this key lets you enter accents and symbols not shown on the keyboard)

My workaround is to put Classic in the card view and then do the screenshot. You can then use pinch/zoom to enlarge to full screen size and do another screenshot of the image.

Cuts down on resolution somewhat, but it works.

I hadn't thought of the zoom & second screenshot. I too have used the card view screenshot.
Thanks

I have noticed that if you hold down Option+P first and then press Sym while still holding Option and P, Classic will still pop up the message but webOS will still take a perfect screenshot without the message. It sometimes takes several tries but it works.

Interesting... I will have to try that.
