 - Run unix and put your programs in DOSmerge. 
 - Hire a grad student to stand behind the keyboard and take notes. 
 - Get a card operated lock for the keyboard and have it log every
   keystroke to a file on another computer.

  All of these would cost more than having one computer per user,
probably. The level of monitoring I imagine from your posting is totally
impractical unless you have something like security info on the system,
in which case you don't let insecure users at it. Or do I mean unsecure?
Many of our users are insecure...
