[TriLUG] Capture Terminal Session without Control or Color Codes

[Alan Sterger via TriLUG]

Yeah so far ttyrec, script and screen output files all contain escape 
sequences.  "Gold" output test is 'less'.  Output has so many escape 
sequences, less tells me its a binary file and do I still want to view it!

Any thing else?
