 OK -- thanks to those that replied (many with a similar solution).
 I do have access to the server (Win2000 in my case) so I can pretty well do
anything I want.
 It comes back now -- I did something like that but then called it through a
gateway Python script that allowed me to turn off all logging in one spot
easily (by modifying the script) in case I wanted to leave the debug
statements there temporarily and not incur the expense of a huge log file.
