How DID I take a screen grab?

This morning I opened the 'Albums' app on my Hero, and along with;
'Camera shots
All photos
All Videos' etc. etc., there was a new group called 'Catch'.

This new group seems to be a series of screen grabs, but I've no idea how I took them??

I can imagine it'd be a useful feature at some point, but wouldn't know how I managed it.

Anybody know how I do this deliberately?

if your phone is rooted you can get an app called "shoot me" from the market. run that and shake your phone, it will then take a picture of what's on the screen.
