Hello,
Don't mind if I am asking simple questions because I have to learn the 
basics.

How do I have to use "script"?
Do I have to enter "script" in the terminal before I start other 
commands, so that it will start to log my shell?
or can I, after a command with output, enter "script" and it will log my 
output in a file typescript?

I tried several times, but it didn't work. It didn't record anything, 
when I opened the file typescript.

So can you show me an example how to use it?
What Options are useful?

Gottfried
