Thanks Bruno...
Indeed a redirect is not possible either.
In the screen I am running a propietary shell which its own commands (like sql for example)
therefore I can send the proper command via screen stuff and I want to read the output, (via log)
there is no possibility to redirect.
The only one possibility is to get the output of the log file or something like that...

Indeed, hardcopy is not suitable

You mean like running "screen /usr/bin/whatever", and then get the
output ? In this case, you might as well use a redirect, like "screen
/usr/bin/whatever > filename.log". If you really need a screen way to do it,
I don't know how you could do
