[Glass] RPS gems and logging

[Dale Henrichs via Glass]

Iwan,

Which version of GemStone are you using? ... the exact details about 
where logs go has changed over time as we've fixed bugs and 
functionality, so in order to give you a good answer we need to know 
which version of GemStone you are using ...
