Not quite: use the script command, not write a shell script.
For example:
> [james@howells james]$ script out.txt
> Script started, file is out.txt
> [james@howells james]$ ls
> contents
> [james@howells james]$ exit
> Script done, file is out.txt
and the contents of out.txt are:
> Script started on Mon 08 Nov 2004 13:22:08 GMT
> [james@howells james]$ ls
> contents
> [james@howells james]$ exit
>
> Script done on Mon 08 Nov 2004 13:22:13 GMT
You can use Ctrl-D to quit.
Depending on what you're doing you might find
TERM=dumb script out.txt
to be better. ("Why" is left as an exercise for the reader...)
Hope this helps,
James.
