                 'Log'  is  used  to  make entries in one of a number of user
                 logs.  When used, 'log' appends the current date, time,  and
                 day-of-week to the specified log file and then appends to it
                 the   contents  of  standard  input  one,  up  to  the  next
                 occurrence of end-of-file.

                 If <log file> is present, it must be the name of a  file  in
                 the  user's  variables  storage directory; the named file is
                 used as the log file.  If absent, the file "u.log" is used.

                 'Log' is frequently used to make records suitable for use in
                 preparing end-of-the-month time sheets and project diaries.

                 =varsdir=/<log_file> for log file.

                 The restriction of having the log file reside  in  =varsdir=
                 could be considered a bug.
