There is a shareware utility called "Take Command" which could be what
you need. It was made by JP software, the writers of 4DOS and 4OS2
(in effect it is a sort of "4WIN" :-) It acts like a command.com shell
with many more commands and has a scrollable window, so that you can
have a look at the past output (and copy it to the clipborad, of course)

I downloaded it from http://www.cdrom.com/pub/sac/utilmisc/tc32201.zip
