Here's one way to save console output to file:
>> help echo
USAGE:
    ECHO target

DESCRIPTION:
     Copies console output to a file.
     ECHO is a function value.

ARGUMENTS:
     target -- (Type: file none)

(SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES)
     catch

Another way is like:

>> print X: rejoin ["Then answer is: " 1 + 5]
Then answer is: 6
>> print X
Then answer is: 6

I hope that helps!
