Ok.  My very strong preference is that we should be using the same
tools as most linux distros.  SuSE and Fedora say this:

NAME
     script - make typescript of terminal session

SYNOPSIS
     script [-a] [-c COMMAND] [-f] [-q] [-t] [file]

I'd rather not deviate any further from the linux standard by including
tools which do not conform to linux usage.

Sorry.
