Lance,

I'm using aterm, a light weight xterm.  aterm is launched by the logon 
script:

aterm -tn xterm -sl 5000 -geometry +0-0 &

I just select text with the mouse, then save/append to file.  Pretty simple.

Select text, then:

$ cat >> filename
[middle click now]
[Control d  to exit]
$

Let me know if you learn an easier way for that.  As I said in my 
original reply, I use script or  apt-get ... | tee <file> most often.

Regards,
Ralph
