Others have answered your question, but here's something interesting you
may not have been aware of.  If you'd like a complete log of everything
you've done on the command line, use this:

script -a mystuff

Everything you type on the command line and all the results will be saved
to mystuff.  Type exit or Ctrl-D to stop the logging.
