I do this... on Windows...

Click on Start then Run.

Type "%APPDATA%/D-RATS" into the Run box.  (Once you've done this  
once, unless you do a lot of Start->Run command-line stuff, it'll be  
in the drop-down box in the "history" the next time you go looking for  
it.

That opens the folder that always contains the debug.log file.

Stop D-RATS.

Rename the file to something more useful... "debug.04262009.log" for  
example.

Optionally restart D-RATS if you need it running to continue some  
testing or whatever you were doing.  (New "debug.log" file starts.)

Attach the whole "debug.04262009.log" file to an e-mail to Dan or the  
list.  How to do this depends on your mail program, but in mine, I  
just open a new e-mail and drag the file to the mail window and drop it.

Simpler to just grab the whole file than to cut and past snippets,  
especially since I'm not always sure what Dan needs to see in the log.

This is different on Linux or Mac... if you need those instructions  
(you didn't say which you were using), holler!
