Your book is very good (I'm looking forward for the chapter on Grammars), I received it this morning and I studied the first chapter. The exercises are very well structured and helpful for the learner. Amazing job, Mr. Rosenfeld.

As for my question, I've already installed Readline that should have similar functionality. So I have a history file of my inputs, but not of outputs from the repl.

Tomorrow I'm going to try to use emacs M-x ansi-term and then save the buffer to a file.
