This is weird. The first suggestion would only work if you're
logged in at the tty which /dev/console is symlinked to (i.e., this
prolly won't work from an xterm in X). The second suggestion would
only work if you're logged into tty1 (again, this won't work from an
xterm in X). Why doncha do it like this:
cat > <filename>
Then press Ctrl-D (which is EOF in UNIX, it's Ctrl-Z in DOS) when
you're done. This would do the same thing as "copy con <filename>" in
DOS.
