What I do is to open _another_ window, cd to the crafty directory, then
(in unix) type "tail -f log.nnn".  The -f says "poll the size of the file
every second or so and if it is now longer, copy the new lines to the window
I am in...  it lets you see the log file dynamically as it is written to, which
looks just like a normal console window running crafty.
