I have just checked it, with -Sline-editor-disable the generated
typescript looks much better, if you add -Stermcap-disable (or
only -Scolour-disable) it becomes plain, except that UTF-8 may be
used if the real LC_CTYPE says so, regardless of
-Sttycharset=us-ascii or whatever, so that needs a LC_ALL=C
prefix still.

The following will be in v14.9:

  [-] Add *typescript-mode*, set it for -# (Ralph Corderoy, Martin Neitzel)..
  
  Ralph ran us via script(1), and for us this looks like a truly
  interactive session, so we do use colours, enable the line editor,
  etc., which garbles the generated typescript somewhat.
  Martin jumped in regarding -#.
  
  So instead of requiring the user to know so much and having a need
  to adjust the code that deals with -# due to this, simply invent
  a new VIP multiplexer variable *typescript-mode* which adjusts all
  knobs which somehow could interfere with running us in things like
  script(1), set it for -# by default.  It doesn't restore any
  former setting when unset.

Good idea, ciao!
