Stray Puts

Used the same technique in VB. Totally agree!! I add one option my logging
routine. It opens up a file in the stack location named for the card that
initiated the first logging request and it echoes the logging message with a
time stamp. Very handy to see what happened and when after the fact.

I've started doing it the way someone else suggested. I use a handler:

on log pMsg
  put pMsg
end log

Then in the scripts:

LOG "Message about script performance."

When I want to stop logging, I just comment out the one-line body of the 
handler. If I really want to remove it all, I search for "LOG " (with 
space.)

I don't know of any native LiveCode way to do it.
