LOG
LOG, entered alone, displays the state of the log file, including the file name, if open, and
the current status (ON/OFF).
LOG
filename opens the specified file and activates (turns on) the log file. If another log
file is already opened, it is first closed (saved) before the new file is opened. This command
does an implicit LOG ON
LOG ON and LOG OFF can be used to activate/deactivate-activate the currently opened log
file. The file remains open (pending), but Debug input is
not recorded if the log file is OFF.
LOG CLOSE closes (saves) the current opened log file. Note that this command is written to
the log file. Executing this command without a log file has no effect.
Parameters

is automatically purged (without warning), and reopened new. This
command performs an implicit LOG ON.
If omitted, the status of the current log file is displayed.
Examples
%cmdebug > log logfile
Open a new logfile named logfile and start logging to it.
