Given your description, I take it that you actually meant ttyC0 ;^)

It looks like you are confusing two things here: virtual terminal(s) -
sometimes referred to as console(s) - and *the* console (/dev/console);
as it is the output from both of those devices that you see when on your
display.

'script' only makes a typescript of everything that's printed on the
terminal. What you describe as 'blue line-background, white lettered'
text is sent to /dev/console.

I'm sure it's doable - nothing off the top of my head, though. Read:
I've never done it myself.

Text displayed on ttyC0 and console are not in any way related. Why
would you want that?
