Interesting looking program, but that's not what I'm looking for.  I
need something that will record all my inputs to be saved to a macro
command file of some kind, so that I can simply run that macro script to
repeat all those key-ins in order with control keys as well as regular
alpha-numeric key-ins, to perform that task automatically.  What I'm
trying to do is set something up so that it will start a "screen"
session, create several session windows within it and execute the
commands needed to get everything set up.  If knowing that helps. :-)

It seems like such a basic thing; I can't believe that there's no
terminal console program out there that doesn't have a "record
keystrokes" function to record a macro that can then be executed by the
terminal console program via a click or hotkey.....
