     The script output file can be cleaned up in emacs (although it's
a bit tedious).  The first step is to get rid of the ^Ms with M-%
C-q C-m [ENT] [ENT].

     A tee command should allow the output to be redirected to a file
and remain visible on the screen (I haven't tested this) :
     apt-get upgrade 2>%1 |tee apt-get_output.txt
