NAME
       script - make typescript of terminal session

SYNOPSIS
       script [ -a ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION
       _S_c_r_i_p_t  makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal.  The
       typescript is written to _f_i_l_e, or appended to _f_i_l_e if the -a option  is
       given.   It can be sent to the line printer later with _l_p_r.  If no file
       name is given, the typescript is saved in the file _t_y_p_e_s_c_r_i_p_t.

       The script ends when the forked shell exits.

       This program is useful when using a crt and a hard-copy record  of  the
       dialog  is  desired,  as  for  a  student handing in a program that was
       developed on a crt when hard-copy terminals are in short supply.

BUGS
       _S_c_r_i_p_t places everything in the log file.  This is not what  the  naive
       user expects.
