+To collect all this information, you can use a session recording program
+such as @command{script}, which is available on many Unix systems.
+Just run your @value{GDBN} session inside @command{script} and then

+Another way to record a @value{GDBN} session is to run @value{GDBN}
+inside Emacs and then save the entire buffer to a file.
