It never would have occured to me that you could specify a log path.

What I've done for a while, is I made a batch file, called it "nolog.bat" and
put it in the crafty directory, and in it I put:

@echo off
del game.*
del log.*

And then I put a shortcut on the desktop, and every once in a while I double
click on it and all my log & game files dissapear.  I suppose I could make the
batch file a startup program so that everytime the computer starts it could wipe
out the log files, but that would cause problems for me (considering Windows)
