I am not quite sure what you mean. May a concrete example
like the one below can help clarify your question. If you 
run the example below it will at the end show what I would 
consider a complete log file. How does this example change 
from what you are doing, or do you want to see more in your 
log-file?

Hope this helps,
Maarten

*----------- begin example -----------
// change this directory to one
// that exists on your computer
cd c:/temp

log using foo.smcl, replace

sysuse auto, clear
sum mpg
reg price foreign rep78

log close

view "foo.smcl"
*------------ end example -------------
