Capturing Program Output (typescripts)

When someone tells you to make a script of what you are doing, this is how you do it:

type:

script filename

NOTE: You will receive NO message back from this. The script IS running, do what you need to do.

To end the script, type Control-D.

NOTE: Remember, you will get NO message back. Please do not 'try again', for you will create a beastie known as the 'nested loop', which will be completely useless for your purposes. If a loop is nested enough times, you can completely use up all the processes of a machine, rendering it useless.
