How do I grab a picture of the cursor?

I'm sure I've done this before but I jut can't figure out how to do it now! I need a screen shot which also includes the mouse cursor. Is there any way of doing this with Grab or is there another program which will do this.

MacBook Pro 2.2Ghz, Mac OS X (10.5.3), 4gb RAM

Hello Alan

In Grab found in Utilities, select a pointer from Grab preferences, as an arrow in your case.
Open the window or arrange the screen as you want.

Press Command + Z to ready it for a screen shot. Have your mouse pointer in position and do a mouse click. The captured image will have the mouse pointer in shot.

Thanks for this. There's actually two cursor styles I'll need to use - one of those is the arrow cursor and the other is the "move" cursor which isn't included on the preferences.
