The tree command does what you asked as far as I can see. The hard part is finding something that will display the output correctly once it's captured. I use the X2 Programmers Editor for this. Neither Notepad or Wordpad handle it.

Use the /A switch with tree.
"/A Use ASCII instead of extended characters."

Ah, even easier, thanks.
