Glen, start it like this: script -f Then do the business, and afterwards type: exit And it will tell you everything was saved in a file called 'typescript'. Unfortunately, this might also write console colouring codes to the output, so it might be abit garbled. Press F1 in speakup to get the help screen, and I think it is spacebar to get rid of it. In the speakup help scereen you can read about the region copy and paste keys. Or, if you connect to the console with TeraTerm from Windows, you can just copy and past to the terminal normally as you would in WWindows. To paste into a document you are editing in TeraTerm, press alt+E and paste. If you copied more than one line from the source application TeraTerm will ask you to confirm. If you are copying from TeraTerm, you can either select the entire screen from the menus and then copy it, and paste it into an email, or you can use the virtual cursor keys to copy a region.
