The usual "trick" to do this is to use DecNET.  The remote login
command, SET HOST, supports a LOG parameter that diverts a copy of
the session to a disk file.  For example:

$ SET HOST 0/LOG=logfile

(0 allows you to link to your current node). Note that VMS supports
SET HOST even if you haven't purchased DecNET; what DecNET provides
is the ability to talk to some other computer besides your own.

The drawback of this approach is that you have to log onto the
system again.  It's also expensive because the entire terminal
session is being passed through the DecNET software.
