If there were a way to have a log file recognized as a file that should be edited in changelog mode, to create a new log entry each time the file is opened, and to disable the automatic insertion of a filename at the beginning of each log entry, that would probably be all that I need. I've investigated diary mode, but that seems geared toward maintaining calendar entries rather than what I think of as a diary. -- John Kodis Goddard Space Flight Center kodis@mail630.gsfc.nasa.gov Greenbelt, Maryland, USA Phone: 301-286-7376 Fax: 301-286-1771
