Unless I'm seriously mistaken, the only way that this will be possible is if there's a Win32 API call that will give the correct information. This might be possible to find in the MSDN documentation, if it exists, but I suspect that it probably doesn't.
Just thinking: in NT, XP, and friends, the "DOS" console has a scrollback buffer. In addition, even in 98 you can cut and paste text in a console window. Both of these are clear evidence that the data is available. Whether the API to get to it is well-documented and available remains to be answered... I'm guessing it is, somewhere...
Hm, that's a good point. It may even be possible to simulate selecting the entire console window and copying the text to the clipboard, and from there into the capturing application. It might be worth exploring win32ui & friends...
