RE: Unix "script" utility continued... cygwin newbie need a porting expert's help.

I no longer have your original email so I need you to refersh my memory. 
What is your goal in wanting to capture all of the output of the script?
Does it *have* to be in Script format? Is it just for logging of debugging?
Does the following help you?

You can put the following in your script:

#---------- Start of script -------------------
	#!/bin/sh -x
	(
#----------------------------------------------

# Example body of script 

	grep term /this_file_does_not_exist     # will cause output to
stderr
	grep term /usr/include/sys/termios.h    # will cause output to
stdout

#---------- End of script ---------------------
	) > myoutput.lst 2>&1
#----------------------------------------------

All output including the commands issued will end up in 'myoutput.lst'.
This will work for Bourne derivatives (bash, ksh, etc.) also.
