Xterm has such an option but the last time I checked (Nov. 2006) it was not enabled in the Cygwin xterm binary. You may have to build xterm yourself with the "--enable-logging" configure option. Logging can then be enabled and disabled via the Ctrl-left- or Ctrl-middle-mouse-button menu. (I don't remember which and I don't have an xterm handy at the moment.) The log file will be written to your $HOME directory with the name XtermLog.<PID> where <PID> is the process ID of the xterm's process.
