Disregard the following request for assistance. The problem is solved.
I can't quite understand why it took almost 24 hours for this request to get
on the reflector.

Subject: [WriteLog] Question to reflector
>I am running Wl ver. 10.54C. It works great. One problem, if it really is

>C:\WINNT folder. I have a WriteLog.ini file in the C:\WINNT folder. But
>any changes I make to that ini file have no effect on WriteLog itself.
