That's a bit tricky. It's easy in Linux--you use the "tee" command. In windows, you can either a) modify your program to save output in an external file, or b) use a console (ie shell) that can save history in a buffer and then store it to a file. As a last resort, you can take a screenshot (with ctrl-alt-printscreen) and paste it into a paint or word document.

redirect the output to a file. for eg. in the command prompt, C:\>Killme > this.txt Then this.txt will contain the console output. Anyway, this will work only for that specific program.
