The whole shell business is moot point if you use script(1) see also `man 
script'. How about (in any shell):

  LikeEver% script /var/tmp/make.world.script
  Script started bla, bla...
  LikeEver% make world
  *barf barf barf*
  LikeEver% exit
  Script Finished bla, bla...
  LikeEver% _

It even records your backspaces :)

    Groetjes,
      Kees Jan
