You can also record the activity that goes on in DOS window by sending it to a text file: "c:\ipconfig >tst.txt" (this way all screen information will be stored in the tst.txt file) Only drawback is that you don't see anything on the screen. You can also continue working in DOS window while viewing and whenever you want to save the information: click on the top left hand "place control". On the drop down menu select: EDIT >> MARK: now you can mark the area of text you want to copy. Once marked Click on the "place control" again. On the drop down menu select: EDIT >> COPY: (now open a text editor and past all in there) Hopefully the solution is what you were looking for.

So if you're not in full screen mode, you'll still only get the window you want, not the whole screen. You can paste into Paint if you don't have Photoshop.
