I often use Cmd-Shift-3 and Cmd-Shift-4 to capture screenshots to my desktop.
To keep things a little tidier, how can I specify some other default directory for these images, e.g. a "ScreenShots" folder within the Desktop?
Thanks.

Does exactly what I needed. Very cool - thanks.
This makes me want to google for "100 Mac tips and tricks (only) for the terminal."
There are quite a few Unix tricks for the geeky elite! 😉
What are some that are useful on the Mac?
(I learned to program on SunOS, so I'm not unfamiliar with the shell.)
Well, it depends on what you want to do. There are a number of different hidden preferences that can be accessed through the "defaults" command - but knowing they're there is a trick. Google does wonders for finding hidden preferences, where they exist.
Showing/hiding files is done with the "chflags" command.... "chflags hidden /path/to/file" to hide an item and change it to "nohidden" to show it.
Here are a couple sites that will give you more information:
