If you are running something in 'windowed mode' you can press Alt+PrintScreen to copy the window into the clipboard.

Using the Printscreen key isn't a "screenshot function in Blitz," what he asked for. Using SaveBuffer (as DarkEagle pointed out) is what you want.

I personally use DarkEagle's method, and I even implented it in "The Fairy Tale"... I've only configured it to the "F10" key, but that's the most important diffrence :)
