[WriteLog] Opening log window problem

[Jim Smith]

Thanks for the response Randy.

Of course one could relocate WL but I have a huge number of files on my 
system and I use file management techniques to enable me to find what I 
want quickly.  One of those techniques is to categorize stuff and set up 
a directory structure which reflects those categories.  I don't want to 
introduce inconsistencies into this system just to meet the minor 
idiosyncrasies of one app, particularly when the elimination of the 
idiosyncrasy is so trivial.  Perhaps I'm wrong but I think it would take 
me longer to uninstall WL, reinstall it in C:\ and move all the contest 
directories and files than it would for a programmer to change the 
layout of the form.  

Now, I'm not trying to say that this is some major item which requires 
immediate attention.  I'm just agreeing that there is a problem for some 
of us which could be addressed with minimal effort.  In the meantime, 
I'll live with it.  If it's never fixed, it won't be the end of the 
world.  It will continue to bug me, however.

I see that it has taken me more than ten minutes to write this.
