Saving the Main window transcript file
Variable settings determine the filename used for saving the Main window
transcript. If either PrefMain(file) in modelsim.tcl, or TranscriptFile in
modelsim.ini file is set, then the transcript output is logged to the specified file. By
default the TranscriptFile variable in modelsim.ini is set to transcript. If either
variable is set, the transcript contents are always saved and no explicit saving is
necessary.
If you would like to save an additional copy of the transcript with a different
filename, you can use the File > Save Main As, or File > Save Main menu items.
The initial save must be made with the Save Main As selection, which stores the
filename in the Tcl variable PrefMain(saveFile). Subsequent saves can be made
