Having some out-of-date script files in memory is a good theory -
XSI caches a self-installed plug-in script in
memory once it is first instantiated.
So in Kim's scenario the Logmessage won't actually show up until
-XSI restarted
-Update button on Plug-in Manager pressed
-Some OM code called to unload/reload the specific plugins
-Andrew

try taking the plugins you think everyone is using, add a coded logmessage
in the init or command, wait for a baddy and see if the log is there, or
check see if everyone gets the log.
