Print Screen may be easier, but I'm not sure if the list will allow
attachments. Hold down ALT whilst pressing Print Screen, and it will
just copy the active window. The picture can then be pasted into MS
Paint or similar.

To copy and paste from a DOS box:
Right-click in the DOS box title bar, select Edit->Mark from the pop-up menu
Drag a box around the text you want to copy
Right-click in the DOS box title bar, select Edit->Copy from the pop-up menu

This will have copied the selected area into the clipboard. You can
paste it into an e-mail as normal.
