The default log directory is session-specific, that is, each Telnet session may
have its own location for storing logfiles. You may change the name of the file
and the location of the directory that stores the logfiles. If you do not change
the default directory, logfiles are stored in your home directory.
You may view a log file at any time, using a standard text editor. The screen
buffer is written to the log file when the buffer is full, or when logging is paused
or stopped. To ensure the log file is up-to-date, either pause or stop the logging.
