I use Capture by Mainstay that will allow you to capture menus
that are pulled down.  But that costs money and we need share
ware, correct?

There are three shareware screen capture programs that I know of

UTIL/SCREEN-TO-CLIP.HQX
UTIL/SCREENDUMP-II.HQX
UTIL/SCREENSNAP-22.HQX
 
of which I have only used screensnap which cannot do what you want.
I don't know anything about the other two.  Does anyone else?

I know that in the dim dark past there was a DA that would 
wait a given amount of time before taking a picture and would
then capture pull down menus.  I think that name had a camera
in it.  Let's look at the archives:

DA/CAMERA.HQX

This may be it, give it a try.
