\head{2}{Usage}

The \fq{set log} command causes LP to start recording the terminal session in a
file named \s{file}\f{.lplog} (unless \s{file} contains a period, in which case
LP does not supply the suffix \fq{.lplog}) in LP's current working
\setlink{directory}.  Any previous contents of this log file are lost.  If LP
was already logging to a file, that file is closed before opening the new log
file.  Logging is ended by the \cflink{quit} or
\dflink{../commands/unset}{unset log} commands.
