okay, this is what I got:

  cat > <file>
  tar -xvf <file2>
  cd linux-3.2.6
  make mrproper
  make headers_check
  make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=dest headers_install
  find dest/include \( -name .install -o -name ..install.cmd \) -delete
  cp -rv dest/include/* /usr/include

then I hit return and after type:

  . <file> 2>1|tee <file3>

and then hit return again.
So what this does is creates a text file and this example is a kernel
builder, So I'm going to change it for each package I need to build for
LinuxfromScratch. So I want to be able to just type everything and run it
all with:

  . <file> 2>1|tee <file>

so I can find errors before I move on to the next tar file w/o hiting
return before the 'tee' command. So what text do I put to indicate a
carriage return?
