Turns out my memory perhaps isn't so good (or maybe it is and there's more than one way to skin a cat) but someone else suggests: copy con filename.txt (without the colon) then using Ctrl+Z.

It just copies from the keyboard buffer's file handle to file. Admittedly the last time I used this was on DOS 6.2! It’s been almost 15 years since I’ve used this technique, but can’t you do:

COPY CON: FILENAME.TXT
