Just to clarify because I had to google to have any clue what writing .LOG at the top was supposed to do.

It will create a time-stamp (similar to F5) each time you open the document.

So nothing for us that never closes applications ;)

Wow! I truly wonder whether that's in there to scratch one Windows engineer's personal itch some day back in 1998 or something ;-)
