Re: More BASH questions
Brent, Try the following cat /dev/vcsaX | lpr Where X is the number of the Virtual Console that contains the output that you want to print. You can do the same to a file: cat /dev/vcsaX screen.dump Hope this helps, Steve Mayer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fulgham, Brent/SCO wrote: Can anyone tell me if there is a way to generate screen dumps of bash sessions?

This would be similar to the screen dump capability of DOS. Look at the bash manpage, especially the section about i/o redirection. This may be a bit difficult for starters though. Or look at tee which is in package shellutils. tee lets you redirect output from a process to a file, a printer, a terminal or whatever else unix thinks is a file. Or look at script, which is in bsdutils and will save both input and output to a file. Script is probably the easiest. Just type script, do you thing and when you're finished, type exit (or hit Ctrl-D) and you'll find the session transcript in a file called typescript (can change that with options.) Then you can look at that file and optionally edit it before printing it. Cheers, Joost -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

This would be similar to the screen dump capability of DOS. The way I usually use is to go into emacs, go into shell mode (alt-x shell enter, for non-emacs users), run whatever command, edit the output, and print it (alt-x lpr-buffer).

Re: More BASH questions
I usually use gmp package for selecting with mouse an interesting area of the screen and pasting it into my favorite editor (joe) on another virtual console.
