Whereas Debug Logging can be turned on and off from the Administration window on 4D Server, there is no such option in 4D standalone.
To enable a developer turn Debug Logging on and off easily in standalone, the utility below is meant to be called from a menu while the application is in use.
The example assumes the call is coming from the "Mode" menu, but can be hooked in from any active menu bar.
