How to LOG zephyrgrams you receive

If you would like to leave a log file containing the text of all the
zephyrgrams you receive.  This log file will be written into the file

	/tmp/zwgc_log.${USER}

(e.g. if your username is "pegray" then the copies will be saved in
"/tmp/zwgc_log.pegray").

You can find an example of how it is done by typing:

	attach zephyr
	more /mit/zephyr/attic/examples/log_file

For more information about customizing your .zwgc.desc file please refer
to the appropriate manual page.  Type:

	man zwgc

at the athena% prompt to see it.

If you do create a log into the /tmp directory, you might want to delete it
when you log out -- otherwise it could be potentially read by other users.
To do that automatically, insert the line:

	/bin/rm /tmp/zwgc_log.username

in the ~/.logout file.  Replace "username" above with your username.
