You probably want to use one of the various tools like script or ttyrec that can record and replay terminal information.

no, i want use cool-retro-term and simples externals files .txt into directory example : chap01/text001 ; chap01/text002 ; chap02/text001 ; chap02/text002 ; chap02/text003 etc..
and all files view into cool-retro-term easely.

Like using cat chap01/text001 (or maybe less)? Or maybe one of the many suggestions at something like https://superuser.com/questions/526242/cat-file-to-terminal-at-particular-speed-of-lines-per-second

interresting, thanks i look that.

i run cool-retro-term, after i call un perl script catLps.pl

`#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Time::HiRes qw|time|;

my $start=time;
my $lps=300;

$lps=shift @argv if @argv && $ARGV[0]=~/^(\d+)$/;
my $sleepPerLine=1/$lps;

print &&
select undef,undef,undef,($start + $sleepPerLine*$. - Time::HiRes::time)
while <>`

Usage:
catLps.pl [lps] [file] [file]...

First argument lps is optional line per seconds numeric argument (default: 300)
Note: if filename is only numeric, you may have to specifiy them with path: ./3.
Like cat this could pass files given as argument and/or standard input

So we could:
TIMEFORMAT='%R'
time seq 1 100 | ./catLps.pl 100 >/dev/null
1.040

time seq 1 10000 | ./catLps.pl 10000 >/dev/null
1.042

For fun:
export TIMEFORMAT='%R' ;clear ;time seq 1 $((LINES-2)) | ./catLps.pl $((LINES-2))
