You asked a question and I honestly tried to help you find an answer.
Your response sounds like saying ``your advice is useless,'' which
will cause me to think twice next time before answering.

More to the point, I will be more than happy if you (or someone else)
codes a GDB feature that can duplicate all the input and output of an
interactive session to a file.  I even promise to get it through the
GDB patch review process and commit it to the GDB CVS.  So please
don't hesitate to volunteer.
