The usual problem with this sort of thing is that if you pipe output
it gets buffered, which doesn't work very well for user interaction :-)

A solution is to use a pseudo-terminal instead of a pipe, and you
may find that the easiest way to do that is to hack the source
of /usr/bin/script (if you remove the file logging, it's a null filter).
