 Hi gang,
 
 I remember years and year ago, when I first installed debian (bo, I
 think), the install instructions recommended that you run this little
 program that records everything that happens on the console. I think it
 just saves it to an ascii file with escape codes, but if you catted the
 resulting file, it would play back everything on the screen, so you
 could see what you screwed^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hdid.
 
 Someone has asked me to do something and record what I do so that he can
 see how it works, but I can't for the life of me remember what this
 program was called. I've tried searching through apt-cache and apropos
 for record, script, pager, etc., but no joy.
 
 Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Can anyone remember what it was
 called?
 
 cheers,
 
 damon

Quoth Ethan Benson, 
  Someone has asked me to do something and record what I do so that he can
  see how it works, but I can't for the life of me remember what this
  program was called. I've tried searching through apt-cache and apropos
  for record, script, pager, etc., but no joy.

Thanks, that was what I was after. Seconds after I posted this I read
another posting that mentioned it too... weird!

(Obviously I didn't look closely enough when I did `apropos script', as
I see now it's in there 3 times!)

cheers,

damon
