Thanks Chris, I'll look into it.  Is it documented anywhere?

Anyone else able to volunteer some details?

I'm guessing these are php commands.  I'll check them out.  Do you mean 
phpgwApps or supporting apps (ie apache/postgresql)?  I haven't looked for 
any debug levels in the phpgwApps.  How about the phpgwAPI?  Are there any 
debugging facilities there?  I'm aware of the debugging facilities for the 
supporting apps.

Forgive me if I'm asking questions which are documented.  I haven't read the 
developer docs yet.
