save Console window text to a file?

I'm trying to remotely debug a FIJI configuration issue (remote, as in: 7 time zones).

The user's FIJI writes a couple of pages of stderr output to the Console window when FIJI is
started.  All I have right now is a fragmentary screen shot, which implicates:

        java.util.regex.Patt...

among other things.

I asked for the full contents of the Console window - but realized that I don't know how to save the Console text.  On my machine, when I make the Console window current there is no "save as" menu option (just Fiji and Edit).

Looking at somewhat relevant queries online, it looks like I can write a macro to save the Console window - but I'd much prefer to be able to do it directly in the interface.  (remember, I won't be doing it - I have to explain this to the user).

What am I missing?  Are the Console contents written to some  "well known filename" that I don't know about?
