   On vms systems you could spawn a new login session and have that session logged

   I dont want to have to use PRINT SCREEN to do this, or to open have the printer
   do everything as I go along, I'd like this in a file.


   Is there a way to do this in OS/2 or MSDOS5?

   Thanks

In msdos you could either use some printerspooler to write everything on
disk. Or get 4dos, it has it's internal command tee. And it's a _very_
good pgm otherwise too. It saves memory, includes history, on-line help 
and a lot more.
