Mail got to Australia, but bounced for unknown user.

You could hit contrl-prtscrn before you want to collect
output and again when you want to stop.  There are some
free tsr's available on simtel20 that redirect printer
output to a file, but you have to be careful since most
of them are limited to a small amount of output because
of the PC's inability to do disk output at the same time
it is doing a dos command.

Other options available from the same source are concopy
and script, which split standard output (like tee on unix)
allowing one copy to go to the screen and another copy to
a file.  To use script, you just type the command, script,
and it starts a new shell using COMSPEC.  When you are through
you type the command, exit, and then the file is closed
and can be accessed.  Concopy works similarly.
