The log window looks something like this:

    |    Enter         Edit     |
    `-------|-------------|-------'
            |             `-------------- Edits the Current log.
            |
            `---------------------------- Creates a new log entry

You might have noticed that using the Log-part slightly differs from using
the notes-part. When you read your log, it's in one full text. This means
that you can't flip between the different log entries with a "Next" or a
"Prev" gadget as in the notes-part. All your log entries follow each other,
only separated with an Entry Separator.

  There are some priviledges with this though. E.g. if you want to include
the version history you have written into the distribution package of your
program, it would be an frustrating task to combine all entries. Note that
Misc doesn't insert any <CR>s at the end of each line, (They are only
inserted when you press <Return>.) so you have to edit the file yourself so
that you won't have too long lines.

When editing new entry or current log, the two buttons change into `Ok' and
`Cancel'. Pressing `Ok' inserts the changes into the log, and `Cancel'
returns without changing anything.
  Also, when editing current log, you are put to edit directly into the
full file, and you will have to find the correct entry for yourself.
(Sorry, we might implement a "Find"-function if necessary...)
