Screenshot of Front window with Apple-Spacebar

It's in your Mac Help, but here's what you want:
To take a picture of the whole screen, press Command-Shift-3.
To take a picture of part of the screen, press Command-Shift-4, then drag to select the area you want in the picture.
To take a picture of a window, the menu bar, the Dock, or other area, press Command-Shift-4, then press the Space bar. Move the pointer over the area you want so that it's highlighted, then click. If you decide you want to drag to select the area, press the Space bar again.
If you press Command-Shift-4 and decide you don't want to take the screen shot, press the Escape key.
Screen shots are saved as files on the desktop. If you want to put the screen shot in the Clipboard, rather than create a file, hold down the Control key when you press the other keys. You can then paste the picture into a document.

It was never Apple-spacebar. It has always been just spacebar after the apple-shift-4. You were adding Apple unnecessarily so it's leading you astray now.

Ah yes! There it is. I am back to my screen shots. Thanks DM!

I knew about the command-shift-3, and command-shift-4, what I needed for pure joy was that space bar trick.

Now how about this one: Any way to get the screens from the Apple setup assistant that runs while setting up Tiger?
