1) It works running it from inside X and xterm, and/or from inside
screen; either should allow you to save the output from the scrollback
buffer.

2) If it isn't writing to stdout, it's probably writing to stderr.  Read
the bash man page; in particular, the REDIRECTION section gives examples
of how to do this.  (This section also has info on the /dev/tcp/ stuff
which Nick mentioned in another thread, although it doesn't seem to work
in my bash.)
