[Dxbase] New features

[Neal Campbell]

Hi Fred and the list (I expanded distribution for this discussion!)

Fred was asking about the possibility of not having discrete log files for
each call he uses and wonders if it could be a feature to allow all of his
logs to live within one file.

I can already guess that your opinion will be "WE WANT BOTH WAYS!" but do
you have an opinion on this. Do you like keeping the logs as separate files
or would you rather see them as subsets of a "master log"?
