If 116.Ev SHELL 117is not set, the Bourne shell 118is assumed. (Most shells set this variable automatically). 119.El 120.Sh SEE ALSO 121.Xr csh 1 122(for the 123.Em history 124mechanism). 125.Sh HISTORY 126The 127.Nm 128command appeared in 129.Bx 3.0 . 130.Sh BUGS 131.Nm Script 132places 133.Sy everything 134in the log file, including linefeeds and backspaces. 135This is not what the naive user expects. 136.Pp 137It is not possible to specify a command without also naming the script file 138because of argument parsing compatability issues. 139
