+.Nm script
+.Nd make typescript of terminal session
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm script
+.Op Fl a
+.Op Ar file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Script
+makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal.
+It is useful for students who need a hardcopy record of an interactive
+session as proof of an assignment, as the typescript file 
+can be printed out later with
+.Xr lpr 1 .
+.Pp
+If the argument
+.Ar file
+is given,
+.Nm
+saves all dialogue in
+.Ar file .
+If no file name is given, the typescript is saved in the file
+.Pa typescript  .
+.Pp
+Option:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl a
+Append the output to
+.Ar file
+or
+.Pa typescript ,
+retaining the prior contents.
+.El
+.Pp
+The script ends when the forked shell exits (a
+.Em control-D
+to exit
+the Bourne shell
+.Pf ( Xr sh 1 ) ,
+and
+.Em exit , 
+.Em logout
+or
+.Em control-d
+(if
+.Em ignoreeof
+is not set) for the
+C-shell,
+.Xr csh 1 ) .
+.Pp
+Certain interactive commands, such as
+.Xr vi 1 ,
+create garbage in the typescript file.
+.Nm Script
+works best with commands that do not manipulate the
+screen, the results are meant to emulate a hardcopy
+terminal.
+.Sh ENVIRONMENT
+The following environment variable is utilized by
+.Nm script :
+.Bl -tag -width SHELL
+.It Ev SHELL
+If the variable
+.Ev SHELL
+exists, the shell forked by
+.Nm script
+will be that shell. If
+.Ev SHELL
+is not set, the Bourne shell
+is assumed. (Most shells set this variable automatically).
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr csh 1
+(for the
+.Em history
+mechanism).
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm script
+command appeared in
+.Bx 3.0 .
+.Sh BUGS
+.Nm Script
+places
+.Sy everything
+in the log file, including linefeeds and backspaces.
+This is not what the naive user expects.
