[Zope] Debugging Zope on Windows

I am using Zope 2.5.0 (binary release, python 2.1, win32-x86), and the
python 2.1.3 distribution of from python.org as a service on a Windows 2000 
server.

I have heard that there is a way to debug zope and save error messages to a 
text file using the "STUPID_LOG_FILE" parameter however I'm not clear on how 
to implement this.

I have tried adding the the paramter, STUPID_LOG_FILE=Zope.log to the Z2.py 
file.

I modified the command line parameters

"C:\Python21\python.exe" "C:\PROGRA~1\Zope\z2.py" -S

for the registry value at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Zope\Parameters\start

to

"C:\Python21\python.exe" "C:\PROGRA~1\Zope\z2.py" -S -D 
STUPID_LOG_FILE=Zope.log

or should this be

"C:\Python21\python.exe" "C:\PROGRA~1\Zope\z2.py" -S -D 
EVENT_LOG_FILE=Zope.log

???

Still, when I restart Zope, I'm not seeing the log file.

Does anyone know how I might set this up properly on a Windows Machine?

Alternatively, has anyone configured the z2.py file (or windows registry) to 
use a syslog utility (such as the Kwiki Syslog Daemon), found here:
