Re: can shell mode keep a log?

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

comint scrolls off top.  would auto save mode take that into account?

idk about shell-mode-hook, but i was thinking
comint-preoutput-filter-functions would maybe allow saving each set of
output [idk if per chunk of output or per prompt pair], but this
definitely seems like a feature only i need.  :/
