A reliable way of saving messages to a file is one of the more commonly
requested features requested of zwgc. You can now put something like
this in your zephyr description file to append a message to a file:
exec (/bin/echo "$message" >> /tmp/zephyr-saves)
but this will fail on a message containing a '"', or a very long message.
A new version of zwgc is planned for the fall (as always, the timing depends
on the Athena release-engineering schedule); it will have a builtin command
to save a message.
