Thanks for showing me another way. But Roel Schroeven's

"to copy from the command prompt window: open the system menu
(icon in the top left corner of the window) and choose Edit->Mark. Then
select what you want to copy and press Enter or choose Edit->Copy in the
system menu."

seems to be easier.

Thanks very much for this.

What kind of args could I use here?
