Another approach: Use a text editor that can insert insert the name of the file. In Mac OS X, I use BBEdit and insert a clipping with the following contents. In the text, #BASENAME#" is replaced by the do file name, after stripping off the ".do".
****************
local pname #BASENAME#
log using `pname', replace text
