It goes under the [Configuration] heading, although you may have to
create the entry yourself.  It should look like this:  

AutoSaveCount=n

Where n is a number indicating how often the save takes place.  If
n=1, WriteLog will save after every contact.  If n=2 it will save
after every second contact and so on.

There are a couple of considerations in choosing the number.  When
your contact count gets up in the hundreds or thousands, the save
takes a significant amount of time, so you probably don't want to set
it to 1.  I have mine set to a relatively large number and *try* to
remember to do a manual save when things get slow.  The risk here is
that a power failure might cause you to lose your unsaved data.  You
have to balance the risks.
