[ale] Dumb Shell Scripting Question.....

[Aditya Srinivasan]

Hi Joe,

I believe the solution for this is to use the program script.
It will make a typescript of a terminal session thus recording everything 
in an interactive session.

$script -a LOGFILE

At the end, get out of this "recording mode" with a Ctrl-D


Thanks,
sriad
