Sorry, I don't understand: are you saying that `history' has a
built-in dribble feature? I cannot find any references to that in the
docs.
AFAIK, `history' can save the commands you type, but it cannot save
the output from the application which uses `history'. Dribbling needs
to record both, and it needs to record them in the exact same sequence
as they happened during the session, to provide a reliable script of
the whole session.
