He may be having trouble giving you log if he is trying from the rabbit. 
At least on my system the display of log from rabbit does little more than
that.  I've mentioned it several times, but either no one believe me or the
problem remains uncomprehended or unimportant.

When I try to display log from Rabbit Menu I get display.  Mark is
possible, but only within the given page.  One can move the segment and
then mark in another section.  A somewhat deceptive process if one need to
pass along more than one page of the log.  The Button at the bottom of the
window that shows the log file (end of, if box checked) does nothing with
the marked contents.  One can use ctrl-c to copy, then open an editor to
generate a file and then use ctrl-v to put the marked material into that
file, or one can open a email window after using the mark and ctrl-c and
put a segment into the mail message.  This all seems very primitive, but
either the Rabbit-display log works for everyone but me or fixing what
looks like a useful method for selecting and forewarding log information is
considered one of those user friendly functions that does help get freenet
working.

One can go to the directory when freenet is installed and open that file to
copy some contents, or send freenet.log as an attachement, or perhaps zip
that file and send the zip copy on.  For novices, that may not be the
easiest (search does not work on my 2K opsys unless I am Administrator,
which might be a problem to others using 2K Win) if one does not know where
freenet was installed.

The system works pretty good for gurus, but not for many of the remainder.
