[WriteLog] Setup for Sweepstakes

[Gary AL9A]

It sounds like some of your windows are not docked to the main WL log 
window.  Read the Help file about docking and undocking the windows.  If you 
dock them to the main WL window and then do a Save Configuration they should 
remain where you placed them.
