Type script at the Unix prompt. From that moment on, everything that you type in, or what the computer prints on the screen, will also be copied into a file named typescript, in the current directory.
When you no longer want to record the session, type exit, and the typescript file is saved and closed.
View the typescript file with more or edit it with emacs. Rename it with mv.
You can also name the output file directly with a name different from typescript by using:
script -o filename
The -o option means that the output will be directed to a file with a name specified in filename.
