Hi,
there are several commands like
:map
or
:version
which put a lot of valuable informations (at least for a newbie like
me) into a temporary "something" ("buffer" seems the wrong nameing to
me here).
I would like to get the output of those commands into a real buffer
and become non non-volatile text.
An very very ugly way is to start
script typescript
start the console version of
vim
enter
:map<cr>
:q<cr>
press Ctrl-D to end script and try to re-edit the typescript
file. But this is *VERY* ugly not only due to the thousands of
control-codes.
Is there any other cleaner and vim-internal way to do this ?
Keep hacking!

You can get the output of any such command into either a file or a register,
and in Vim version 7 (or later ;-) ) you can also get it into a variable.
See ":help :redir"
