How do I automatically redirect the echo found in the scriptEditor to a file?

It's maybee a bit late for a reaction to this post but here's a quick solution:

scriptEditorInfo -historyFilename "tempHistoryLog.txt" -writeHistory true;

'writes the ScriptEditors history to a .txt file in your Maya directory'

and

scriptEditorInfo -writeHistory false;

stops writing
