I would like to have all the Mathematica commands entered during a terminal session, written exactly as typed to a text file. No Box wrappers, no HoldForm wrappers, just what I typed. Each on a separate line. And the commands should not be evaluated again when I "write" them to a file.

The idea is that I'm working, I type journalFile@"journal1.txt", and the file is open, written, and closed. I work some more and again type journalFile@"journal2.txt" and a newer, slightly larger file is created. So I would like a function journalFile.

Have experimented with $Echo, HoldForm, In and various combinations without luck. I can get close, with HoldForm wrapped around things, but don't want that.
