I tried it since you said it didn't work, but instead I tried specifying like
this and creating the directory 1st:

logpath=c:\crafty18\log

but so far what's hapenning is that it's making more or less blank game and log
files, like this:

White(1): random
White(1): level 60 15 0
60 moves/15 minutes primary time control
60 moves/15 minutes secondary time control
White(1): post
White(1): hard
pondering enabled.
White(1): force
White(1): quit
execution complete.

but it DOES make a regular log file, and like you mentioned, has this in it:

ERROR -- this must be used on command line only
