Simple Step by Step Creation

[Roger Oberholtzer]

Even better:	autoexpect

which is part of the expect (Tcl/Tk) package. It captures everything, with
the goal of being able to redo it later. It is fantastic at automating
things. By default it captures everything you do. The resulting script can
be trimmed to suit. Play back what you have done with expect. What it offers
over 'script' is that it sorts out what you typed and what came from
elsewhere. And, when automating, you can make the expected output from a
program as specific or flexible as needed. You can even pop control to the
user for parts of the script.
