You can choose a customized name and path for your log file, or use the default one ('...\My Docs\My Games\Beyond the Sword\Autolog\playername.txt').

You can also change the format used. The options are HTML, Plain Text, Forum Codes, and Forum Codes with color. Default is Forum Codes, which is designed to be copy and pasted straight to a forum such as CFC.
