Starting script

In any xterm window type script. The message "Script started, file is typescript" will appear followed by your prompt which is executing in a new shell. Anything you do in that window will be saved in the file typescript.

Exiting script

Type exit to leave the shell and exit script.

Cleaning up your file

The file typescript will contain the results of your keyboard session, including all your typing mistakes. The easiest way to get rid of all the backspaces, etc. is to run ~rwb/bin/rmbs . It uses standard input and standard output, so you need to redirect your file and choose a different filename for your final results. Example:

~rwb/bin/rmbs < typescript > session
