//		Erase the log at the start of an update. We don't want to litter the
//		user's hard disk with logging data that's mostly unused, so each app
//		should clear the log before it starts updating, so only the most recent
//		update is kept around.

//		sender	-	Object that sent this message, typically of type X.
//
//	GIVES:
//		param	-	who owns the returned value?
//		result	-	same here.
