It seems better idea and with one logfile that include everything it is possible
to add display functions that display only relevant parts in the screen or
function that generate later partial logfiles based on the global logfile.

I do not know if displaying in the screen is the right idea and it is possible
to add function that translate a big logfile to smaller logfiles with part of
the information because even the smaller information may be too much to see in
the screen.
