I've always used "man -k" - I guess I'll have to find out what apropos does. man -k <term> ~= apropos <term>
but apropos displays possibilities rather than the man page itself.
Oddball, try "man script" for an explanation of this process.
Script is started in (and runs only in) a terminal which you have logged into. It will send any subsequent output going to that terminal to a file you specify.
"script ~/Documents/Copy_from_terminal_X" will copy anything displayed on the terminal screen after running script to the file shown. It WILL NOT copy anything on the screen prior to running "script". Append is one of the correct arguments for script.

Yes, thank you for your help. That goes for all of you. My apologies for not reacting at the same speed you feed me... I have to process the info, and check and read, and yes, sometimes i mix information i gathered on the same subject between what you, helpers, ask, or tell me. Sorry for that also. It seems that i 'am' a bugfinder, or merely, i unintentionally attract to try things that do not work... Like the screendump man. I than ask myself why a manual is added, if the commands do not work anyway.. And when i notice something, like output on a tty, which can not be scrolled back, i want to find a way to be able to read that output, especially when it continuous to put out. Maybe, there is something useful there.... Of course it did not occur to me that that was not 'simply' possible, so i entangle in a web of possibilities, and have to find the way most suitable for the situation. I thought everybody knew how to do it but me, so there would be someone kind enough to give me the answer.. Luckily for me and others, there are still people on this list, that really try to understand, and help. I want you to know that i appreciate that very much. I am not trying to offend anybody. -- Have a nice day, Oddball.
