i've had success with the "script" command (to capture the fast-scrolling screen
messages):

~ script [my madeup file name]
~ [type the command i'm trying to execute]
~ exit

then i can use "cat [my madeup file name] |less" and read the output at my 
leisure,
send it to the printer, paste in an email....
