+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    use Term::UI::History qw[history];
+

+
+    ### retrieve the history in printable form

+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module provides the C<history> function for C<Term::UI>,
+printing and saving all the C<UI> interaction.
+
+Refer to the C<Term::UI> manpage for details on usage from
+C<Term::UI>.
+
+This module subclasses C<Log::Message::Simple>. Refer to its
+manpage for additional functionality available via this package.
+
+=head1 FUNCTIONS
+
+=head2 history("message string" [,VERBOSE])
+
+Records a message on the stack, and prints it to C<STDOUT> 
+(or actually C<$HISTORY_FH>, see the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> section 
+below), if the C<VERBOSE> option is true.
