if you're talking about the Output Window that comes with Maya on Windows,
then that is stdout and stderr, which are two special files/streams that
any application can write to.  On linux or osx, when you start an
application you can pipe its output to a file or another application.  I
don't know about windows, but i'm sure there is something similar.

Typically renderers will allow you to specify a file for render logs.  If
it's MR, then there is probably some magic, undocumented environment
variable that does it.

don't know about the delay in the reply, but in case it helps clear
