eshell and jobs

Dear Emacsers

I've just fallen in love with eshell, and it is now an important
part of my daily life :-), but I have a question I was wondering if
any of you eshell master's could help me solve. (nudge nudge Kai) :-)

When I'm running a job, eshell has the courtesy to tell me that the
job is done by reporting at the bottom of the screen (command line?),
that the job is finished.

I was wondering, is there a way to make that output goto a buffer with
a name of my choosing (e.g. *eshell.job.finished*)?

The reason I ask is that I would like it to actually tell me the job
is done, but in a separate window.  I assume that once I can redirect
eshells message to a buffer, all I have to do is add it to my
special-dispaly-buffer-names to get it to tell me it is done in a
separate window, like such:

(setq special-display-buffer-names
 '(
    ("*Calendar*" 
     (top . 580) (left . 1) (width . 82) (height . 10) 
     (menu-bar-lines . 0)
     (font . "lucidasanstypewriter-12" )
     (foreground-color . "black") (background-color . "slate gray"))
    ("*Process List*"
     (top . 580) (left . 1) (width . 82) (height . 10) 
     (menu-bar-lines . 0)
     (font . "lucidasanstypewriter-12" )
     (foreground-color . "black") (background-color . "light steel blue"))
    ("*eshell.job.finished"
     (top . 580) (left . 600) (width . 58) (height . 10) 
     (menu-bar-lines . 0)
     (font . "lucidasanstypewriter-12" )
     (foreground-color . "black") (background-color . "cornflower blue"))
    )
  )

If its of any relevance, I'm using the latest eshell, emacs v20.7 on a
the latest red hat.

thanks in advanced,
mike
