Yeah, but that has no gain over script or tee, in that you have to
remember to do something unusual if you think you might want a
screen capture.

(Or you have to use emacs all the time, which I'm not so much in
favor of. But I use vi.)

The real point here is that, the times when I'd want to dump
something displayed in a TTY to a file are when I, say, booted
single user and am not using my usual operating environment. Which
is why I frequently do system maintenance under within script.
