Overview

The StartLog command (re)starts the log file. It is useful to insert this command as the first command in a command file, in order to persistently record the results of processing. A useful standard is to name the log file the same as the command file, with an additional .log extension, and this convention is enforced by default.

Command Editor

The following dialog is used to edit the command and illustrates the command syntax.
