I'm sure there are other approaches, but if disk space on your personal
computer isn't an issue, perhaps you should, BEFORE connecting to your
BBS, use the Kermit command
log session mybbslog
where "mybbslog" is your desired log file. Then, after hanging up,
you may edit the session and extract or review whatever information
or transactions you like.
Or, if you only wish to record PARTS of your session, you may escape
to the kermit command prompt (Alt-X by default), type
log session mybbslog
return to your session (with the Kermit command "connect" or "c"),
record the critical portion of your transactions, escape back to
the prompt and stop recording with the Kermit command
close session-log
(or close sess for short), connect back again ("connect" or "c"),
finish your connect-time activities, and then, off-line, manipulate
the file "mybbslog" in your favorite editor or viewer.
While you ARE connected, you can select portions of your scrollback
using the mark command--if I remember right, this is Ctrl-F1 by
default in K95, and help is available in this "mode," so you can
study up on that approach. This will allow you to get portions of
your scrollback buffer into the clipboard in Windoze, so you can
sling it into some other application.
Hope this helps.
