You can run mysql with a --tee option to capture your output in a
file as well as sending it to the screen.
C:\> mysql --tee=junk
mysql> use samp_db
mysql> select * from member;
mysql> quit
C:\> type junk
Under Unix (which I believe you are not using), you can also use a pager
to view the results page by page. For example:
% mysql --pager=/bin/more
Long queries will be run through the paging program.
