problems with options

| I'm used, when doing compiles, to always follow the form:
| 
| "make (target) |& tee listfile"

FWIW, I run 'make/portupgrade/whatever' inside a script(1) or
screen(1).

| but with options in there, I am often (most often with cascading options 
| being set, in recursive builds) being set up so that I can't navigate 
| the options screeens.
| 
| Any idea how I can arrange to capture a complete, recursive log file, 
| but not interfere with options?

Using any of the mentioned methods would not prevent these
dialogs from appear. 

When I want to prevent this, I just set BATCH before running
make/portupgrade/whatever. i.e:

setenv BATCH 1
make install

or

portupgrade -m BATCH=1

or yet

make BATCH=1

you get the idea,
