The unix command "script" will probably do what you want.  Check out
the man page for the details, but something like:

 script myoutputfile

will start a new shell, with everything you and the computer type
copied into the file named "myoutputfile".  You can then go ahead and
run monitor.  Exiting the shell will close the file and return you to
your original shell.

Script saves *everything* that gets sent to the terminal, including
editing characters (e.g. backspaces...), newlines, and the terminal's
escape characters (if you happen to do something like start vi up
while using script...).  You may want to edit the file after you close
it to make it more presentable.
