## B.3.6 Keeping a Copy of a Terminal Session

The script program is an easy way to save a copy of a terminal session. From the terminal prompt you can issue the command

  script

and all input and output in the shell's window will be saved in a file named

  typescript

In the directory in which you started the script program. After you are done running EMC you should enter the command

  exit

and a history of the complete session will be saved in a file named typescript. It is a good idea to use this script program when you are debugging an EMC. From it you can cut and past the problem lines into your email requests for help. You will need to rename the typescript file after each session if you want to keep and compare the results.
