Capture file not recording all characters

I have a question regarding the capture feature of ProComm. I am in need of logging the terminal window output exactly as it is displayed on the screen, and while I have accomplished this for the most part, there are times where the output that is logged is not the same as the output on the terminal window. For example, a file listing is displayed on a terminal window, but what I see in my log instead is everything which surrounds that file listing (Anything in less than, greater than symbols is a comment from me).

Here is how my log file is appearing:

The below file listing is missing from the log:

The capture feature is missing the file listing... any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? Here are my set commands:

set terminal rawprint OFF
set terminal update FAST
set terminal hostprint ENABLE
set capture query OFF
set capture recordmode SCREEN
set capture path sLogFilePath
set capture file sSessionLog
set capture overwrite OFF

Thanks to anyone that can provide me with some insight.
 
Nevermind... please disregard this post. Snapshot gets this file list for me, so rather than use capture, I think I'll clear the terminal window at regular intervals and take snapshots which append to a log for a session.
