Jim,
Thanks!! I had never seen that command before (script), that worked perfectly! Also it's always great to learn a new tool, I'll find that useful in many situations I'm sure.

hanson44, you can see in the screenshot what a small part of results.txt looks like. Every line has a pipe "|", the pipes should all line up on the same column. Jim's solutions of using script worked great, it captured the terminal's perspective which is formatted nicely. So I just do that instead of putting it's output into results.txt.

NAME

       gnome-panel-screenshot - GNOME screenshot utility

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-panel-screenshot [--window] [--delay=int]

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-panel-screenshot  is  the command-line interface version of the gnome-panel screenshot option. The gnome-panel screenshot option cap-
       tures the complete screen without the delay option. The command-line option is more versatile; it allows you to capture the screen image of
       a window, as well as the complete screen. gnome-panel-screenshot also allows you to specify a delay before the screen or window is captured
       into file.

       If the --window option is used, you must move the mouse pointer to the window to be captured. The --delay option is always  used  with  the
       --window  option,  to allow sufficient delay to set up the required screenshot. Once you have captured the window region, you are presented
       with a preview of the snapshot. You can then choose one of the following three options to handle the captured image:

	 o  Save screenshot to file

	 o  Save screenshot to desktop

	 o  Save screenshot to web page (save in ~/public html)

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --window        Capture a screenshot of the window in which the mouse pointer is located.

       --delay=int	       Pause for int seconds before capturing the window or screen

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Capturing the full screen
