Thanks

almost...

when i was with NCR/ADDS working on their MV version, i implemented
"capturing" for EXECUTE in BASIC -- but expanded the scope and decided
to implement an ultra-sophisticated "capturing" flavor: effectively
you could have unlimited overlapping, named-COMO sessions attached to
any process (in any sequence - nested/unnested), with the ability to
even start/stop capturing remotely from other processes (assuming
privileges) with zero measurable degradation (i even had a capturing-
session enabled for more than a week without realizing it!) you could
capture the Input, Output, or Both. you could also have "timing data"
transparently embedded in the captured stream -- which was really
useful, because there were commands to "replay" the captured streams
as automation "macros" -- even features for reprogramming the timing-
delays on-the-fly while the streams were being replayed (especially
great for building demos). there were even features to scroll
backwards/forwards through any "active capture session" (and with
"search" capabilities, too), similar to scrolling back on a terminal
emulator (with/without page framing enabled); you could also scroll
thru stored sessions -- convenient for caching either long reports
(eg. 1000+ pages) or any time-intensive summary reports.

<sigh> when i got to pick systems to head up their engineering, they
had already implemented a flavor of capturing for BASIC's EXECUTE...
and unfortunately... there were way tooooo many a-other priority.
