    As per my knowledge you can save the contents in 2 ways...
    1) Simply append the output of the command to a text file
    eg. c:\> dir >> sample.txt

    2) Open the cmd prompt in a window format, i.e. not full screen...
        Now right click on the head of the cmd promt, i.e. the blue strip on the top and there is a option of edit
        There select the option mark, i.e. edit-> mark
        You will get a cursor in the cmd promt, just select the area that you want to copy... then again go to the top right click
        edit-> copy

       Now in a text file just paste and you will get the contents of the cmd prompt in the text file...
