PuTTY logging options

Version:           2.4.3 (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

I was wondering if it would be feasible to add the ability to log output of
konsole to a text file?  This feature would be similar to the way that PuTTY
(http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) allows you to log output.

logging could be turned on and off, perhaps even a line could appear in the
konsole window indicating the logging had begun or stopped.  e.g:

[user is doing some work, and decides to begin logging, button is presed]
-------- LOGGING ENABLED ( /home/bbeck/konsle_logs/2010-05-27.00001.log
--------
$ cat whatever.txt
$ rm whatever.txt
[user turns logging off, button is pressed]
-------- LOGGING DISABLED ( /home/bbeck/konsle_logs/2010-05-27.00001.log
-------

I feel that this would be very helpful when doing any type of system
maintenance , also some organizations have policy that work done on a
production system is to be logged.

I have attached a screenshot of the PuTTY logging options to give you an idea
of how that particular program handles logging.

This is only a wish item, so if it's not possible, already implemented
elsewhere, or just a dumb idea don't hesitate to close this ticket.

Thanks.

Reproducible: Didn't try
