OK, I see your point - does the same thing if I use vi by itself
piped to tee.
So any suggestion on how to make this work without giving up the log
of the general Mergemaster process? (all too often stuff scrolls by
that I have to deal with later so the log is important to me)
I know about the "script" command but according to the manpage:
"Certain interactive commands, such as vi(1), create garbage in the
typescript file. The script utility works best with commands that
do not manipulate the screen."
(Actually I don't mind garbage in the output logfile, as long as it
doesn't corrupt the rest of the file. I can just ignore or remove
that section.)
TIA,
Phil
