    Just be aware of the throughput hit you may take by doing this.  Message saving within the engine is enhanced to save messages with minimum throughput disruptions.  

    Writing to disk with each message can significantly slow an interface.  The message trafficic is already slowed by the use of the Recover Database, a necessary trade-off.

    If this is something you really have to do, set up the Tcl procedure to open the file and leave it open which will require any writes be inside a catch statement just in case.  Opening and Closing a file with each message will *REALLY* slow thnigs down.

    The problem is that people do things like this and then complain to us because they cannot get enough messages through the interface  🙁
