The list of stuff it will also remove is usually several printed pages, IF you could actually get a printout. Unfortunately, you can't even copy/paste for a record from that screen by any method but a screen snapshot series. [snip]
I had a similar problem some time back.Someone pointed me to a utility that saved everything sent to a console window. It was not "redirection" nor a "pipe" as the console retained all its functionality.
The procedure was: start the utility in the console specifying a destination file run arbitrary number of commands [the utility recording input keystrokes and resulting output] terminate the utility close console if desiredI understand the typical use of the utility is in a classroom situation where instructor needs to see exactly what the student did. I know I saved the message but I can't come up with keywords to retrieve it.
