If you are using a pre created script file, then you may want to consider going one more step and creating a sweave file. Then you can process this file and the results will include the commands (unless you suppress them) as well as the output, nicely formatted. It can also include graphics and any commentary that you desire.
If you want the more live transcript/log approach, then the R2HTML package is one option (already mentioned) or the txtStart and related commands in the TeachingDemos package (a bit simpler than R2HTML and results in a text rather than html file). -- Gregory (Greg) L.
