You can use a command line option:

   -outfile=somefilename

and you would get a file like:

 PLOTSIMILARITY of: peplist.msf{*}   from: 1  to: 460

 Window: 10
 Scoring matrix: GenRunData:blosum62.cmp

 Position       Value    ..

      5          2.3
      6          2.7
      7          2.7
      8          2.6
      9          2.6
     10          2.8
     11          2.8
     12          2.6


Hope this helps.
