Well the use of redirection to either the clipboard or text file has been a
mainstay since the first pc and used by most users of cmd especially those not
used of it to learn, the hint was in the original post when they mentioned the
use of ? after a command which gives help on that command in terms of all the
switches you can use. You can also type help > txt file to get help on
using cmd. Also you could use a text file convert it to mp3 to learn on
the move.
Do not be shackled by one way or another, we are all different after all.
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.
