This is also how I do use NVDA's object nav and review modes. I
use CMD a lot and it even works on UBUNTU CLI on windows.
All this doesn't teach people how to review the screen and
if you are going to use the Command prompt to any extent, you
need to know how. I hope those who know more about this will
write more.
it appears to me that if you are in object navigation mode,
you can use the regular review commands, numpad 7, 8, 9, move
left by line, read current line and move right by line, to
review what is on the screen. 4, 5 and 6 are left one word,
current word, right one word. 1, 2, 3, are the same but by
character.
If you want to move to the top of the navigator object, use
shift 7. To move to the bottom, use shift 9. In the command
prompt, the entire screen is one single navigator object. So
shift 7 moves you to the top of the screen and shift 9 moves
you to the bottom.
To move to the beginning of a line, use shift 1. To move
to the end, use shift 3.
I believe these commands work when expected in the DOS
prompt but I've only tried them a very few times. But all
these methods of piping output to a file, while useful at
times, are really often ways to get around basic knowledge of
NVDA, which is useful in many contexts, not just this one.

Adrian, I was typing about redirection and append commands at
the same time you wrote your message. You are correct about the
clipboard. You just use the pipe command with the word "clip"
after it, e.g.,
dir /? | clip
and the output goes straight to the clipboard for pasting
elsewhere.
