NAME
     script - make typescript of terminal session

SYNOPSIS
     script [ -a ] [ file ]

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

     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 termi-
     nals are in short supply.

ERRORS
     script places everything in the log file.  This is not what
     the naive user expects.
