Does anybody know of any ways, short of something along the lines of
	SET HOST/LOG 0
to get a copy of a terminal session (except, of course, a terminal printer).

We are having trouble here in that many users (students, at teacher's request)
use the SET HOST/LOG command to save a session, and then, when things don't
work try it again, without closing the first session. This creates tremendous
overhead, both for them ("Why is the machine so slow?") and the staff ("Why
is the machine so slow?") :-).

	I suspect that a solution could be found by playing with the SYS$OUTPUT
logical, but a lot of playing with that hasn't hit a viable solution (we need
to keep terminal output too!!!).

	Any help would be appreciated. Any ideas?
