Hi,

   I have what I would think is a Stupidly Simple Question: How can I
capture a telnet session? I just want to copy the text of a telnet session
into a file that I can refer to later. Right now I use copy/paste into an
emacs window, but that's slow and cumbersome: surely there's a way to log
it?

   I read the man pages, but the closest I got was "tracefile", which
doesn't seem to do what I want...

(BTW: I have to use telnet - the boxes I'm logging into don't have
anything more intelligent)

Any help would be appreciated!
