Hmmmm... that should have worked. Maybe the script output is going to
stderr instead of stdout? If so, you might try this:
# script-name > file 2>&1
This will send stderr's output to the same place as stdout.
If that doesn't work, you could also try using the script command:
# script log.txt
# script-name
#
This is a bit different from redirecting the output to a file though, as
it logs everything - including anything you type - to a file called
log.txt. But it might get you over the hump.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.
