is there a command that just regurgitates text?

Asssuming the N900 has a "tee" installed (I don't have one yet) you could do this:

(lshal | grep percen; date; echo "my message") | tee -a ~/my_history.txt

This will display everything on the terminal as well as appending it to the file "my_history.txt" in your home directory.

Do a "man tee" and "man echo" for more information.
