Here is a slightly more detailed version of Mr. Wolford's idea for simulating
the BSD "script" command on System V Unix.  It mimics the real script command
better, though it still doesn't solve the problem with tty-oriented applica-
tions.  Might be useful for producing examples for users manuals...
As Mr. Barrick says, do it the right way and get the PD pseudo-tty code.

	script() {
		set -- ${1:-typescript}
		echo "Script started, file is $1"
		echo "Script started on `date`" >$1
		tee -a -i $1 | ${SHELL:-sh} -i 2>&1 | tee -a -i $1
		echo "Script done on `date`" >>$1
		echo "Script done, file is $1"
	}
