Eric, I think you have an iPad, so I believe you are asking how to get screenshots on an iPad as I did for this post...I forget what some buttons are called but the "Home" button is that dished button on the centre of one of the short sides of the screen. On the oposite end of the iPad to the "Home" button and on the outside edge of the frame is a short black oblong button which serves with a long press to shut down or wake up the iPad...I will call the button the "On/Off" button.

To get a screenshot on an iPad briefly hold down the "On/Off" button while triggering the shot with the "Home" button...The screen will blank briefly and a short beep will sound...You will find the Screenshot in the Photos App and also in the iPhoto App, where you can also find a "Magic Wand" to click once while viewing the shot, to "Enhance" it. The system will not allow you to enhance it again and there is no need to anyway as the results are near perfect.

As for getting shots over to your PC which I need to do in order to feed them to my Website...Well I'm sure there are hi-tech methods but I just emailed them in pairs to myself and then they were in my PC for redirection...That's a bit of a blunt screwdriver but I do not often take screenshots on my iPad :)
