Script to create log file

Hi folks,
I need each command line typed on Console/Xterm window to be automatically copied to a file after hitting [ENTER] and the last "ten/x" lines of each corresponding output on the screen to be recorded on the file simultaneously. There are >300 comand lines to be executed. I'm building LFS-LinuxFromScratch. I only need the last "x" lines of the output on the screen to be recorded because on compilation maybe there are >10 pages of output. It serves as a log file.
I don't expect adding >file/>>file to the end of each command lines typed, if possible.
Please advise whether it is possible to run a shell script so that my requirement can be done. If YES, please advise how to prepare this shell script.
Is there another alternative to do it instead of running a shell script.
