How about:

$ script
Script started, file is typescript
  ... do whatever ...
Control-D
$ col -bx <typescript >savefile

Section 8.6.23 also talks about a program called screen that seems to do 
the same.  It doesn't seem too useful with VCs so common, but it allows 
things like disconnecting (logout) and reconnecting later.
