[SHR-testing] save SMS messages to text file?

[Bram Mertens]

Cool,

As soon as I can start SHR again (see my other post) I'll give this a try!

@Arne: the second step of saving the messages is that the redirection
of the output in David's script?  Or did you mean a separate command?

@Johnny: looking forward to those improvements!

Regards

Bram
