\bt makes a typescript of everything printed on your ter-
minal. The typescript is written to _
\bf_
\bi_
\bl_
\be, or appended to
_

\bl_
\be if the -
\b-a
\ba option is given. It can be sent to the line
printer later with _

typescript is saved in the file _

The script ends when the forked shell exits.
