unix "script" command (WAS:Re: Screen prints?)

[Elias Mandouvalos <ocean@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think script can be used here...
script captures everything that passes from your console int a file 
(e.g. script /tmp/myscreen.dump)
and terminates when the user presses ctrl-D

Therefore you would have to start it before executing tn5250 and end it after 
you end your session... not much help ...
