> I don't completely agree with this because the last sentence means what you
> asked and what is not the real situation. Upon keypress capturing of course
> starts immediately, but what is read into the cache (if enabled) is what

> This is reasonable so I changed it to honor -dumpfile but i had to make that
> non-static. The parameter is now -capture (docs are updated accordingly).
