vi/emacs: Loging shell command and output

[Osamu Aoki <debian@aokiconsulting.com>]

Hi folks,

What is the best way to log shell command and their console output?

I can use !! in vi and Control-U Meta-! in emacs to record shell output
but they do not record shell prompt nor shell command itself.

I know it is obvious to most of you but I am ignorant.  If I can do
this, my maintenance log shall be very good.  I do not want to do gpm
cut-&-paste any more.

My choice of editors are vim, mcedit, emacs,... (in order)
