Hi,
'Spose what I'd like to do is tee off standard out, run the script responding to yes/nos etc and
then view the trace. What I don't want to do is to kludge the script

The best way to capture the full output of an interactive session is
using the "script" utility (which comes with most unix-like operating
systems):
script output.txt
That requires you to run your SCRIPT-FILE from inside the subshell and
then "exit". Alternately, if your version of "script" is new enough:
script -c ./SCRIPT-FILE output.txt
The zsh-specific way to output data to both the terminal and a file is
to use multi-IO:
./SCRIPT-FILE >&1 >output.txt
However, that doesn't capture what the user types.

This last one did the trick, curiously it didn't display the o/p of the select clause
