okhawaja, I can't do much with a bug report like that.
GSO, I am revising the script right now but I don't plan to do anything like that. If you're running it in a decent window environment, you should have cut and paste. Even if I wanted to implement your request, puttting a feature like that in a script seems daunting and would certainly undermine the portability. I hope that swordfish will work with any version of ksh even on an old ascii terminal. Sorry.

when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
