How do I get the ( PrtScr/SysRq ) button to work? null

When using Windows, pressing the PrtScr button will take a screen print (a copy) of your screen(s). You can then Right-Click and paste (or Ctrl +V) that copied screen into a document, email or paint program. Holding the "Alt" key then pressing the PrtScr button will copy only the active window. You can also think of it as "Printing to your clipboard and not to your printer".

On Windows based machines you hold down the ctrl (control) key while pressing Prt/SysRq

Hold down the or key while pressing the PrtScr key. One copies the whole screen to your clipboard, the other only copies the window, (I don't recall which offhand.) Then you can paste the image into Word, email, or wherever.
