Or you can use something like "LogProc", which receives log messages through
its rexx port.  Its fully async and multiple programs can put log messages
into the same log file, or many different log files.

WPL based mailers, as well as a couple other programs (like CyberCron I belive)
use LogProc.  We also use this to control log windows (ie, CON: files), so a
single RexxMsg command sends to the window, and is cache'd for the disk file.

sounds exactly like LogProc.
