    Just found this on net..

    1. Open screen: screen
    2. Run your program, producing output you want copied
    3. Enter copy mode: ^A [
    4. Move your cursor to the start point
    5. Hit enter
    6. Move your cursor to the end point
    7. Hit enter
    8. Paste: ^A ]

    would that do ?
