The "script" program initiates a new shell which logs all character
terminal events (i.e., characters) to a file. If you enter
shell prompt% script
You should get a new shell prompt with a different history number. Run
mutt in there.
tcsh% mutt
Then exit mutt after damage is done, and exit the secondary shell.
"Script" will tell you the session was logged to a file called
"typescript".
You can replay this session using cat, more, less, etc.
Thomas is saying that application errors of the variety you describe
should reveal themselves in the typescript, as well as while initially
running the application. Environmental (X, terminal emulator program,
etc.) errors will not, because the typescript file is a log only of the
shell and the mutt session.
