How do I get the world.log to goto a file? I have world.log = file("theLog.txt") but that does nothing, it still outputs to the screen! And there is no log file!

you can try this:
world/New()
     world.log = file("theLog.txt")
     ..()

[EDIT]
lol sorry, I forget that sometimes

That doesn't work. theLog.txt is an undefined var.

Try putting quotes around it.

That's what I had in the first post, that didn't work. Single quotes claim the file doesnt exist, which is bull. It's in the same directory as everything else.

Double quotes. That's what the file() proc is for: To convert a double-quote form to an actual file object.
