iam running android 2.2 (froyo) on a x-86 based PC. How can I capture a logcat on the terminal console and save it to any specific location within the android, say notepad ? Whats is the keyboard command for it ?

What are the other generic keyboard shortcuts for android x-86?

A: 
adb logcat > logcat.txt

If you have an emulator and a device and you want to extract the logcat from the device, then:

adb -d logcat > logcat.txt

Type adb help for a list of the commands.

it didn't work, the logcat on Android x-86 terminal screen just goes on and on and stops by itself

by x-86 you mean a standard PC, right? Does "adb logcat" work? The "> logcat.txt" simply dumps the result to a new file created as "logcat.txt". If adb logcat works and the ">" part doesn't, google on how to dump a shell result to a file on your system. In Unix and Windows XP the "greater than" symbol works.
