I have a suggestion that may work for you.

Invoke another copy of command.com and redirect its output to a
file.  You won't be able to see what you are typing and you won't
see your programs output either.  This may be a prohibitive
disadvantage.  But try it.  When you are done and you know that you
are at the DOS prompt, type "exit" or press Ctrl-Z.  Then press
return.

COMMAND > output.dat

^Z

type output.dat
