Don't turn on tracing at the start of a scripts execution and leave it on for the entire script unless you really want to see the script execution in excrutiating detail. It is better to turn tracing on and off as needed. Just be careful about using it just before the end of a routine or you may find you are returning the value from turning off tracing instead of the variable/value you wanted to return. > Also, I know you can redirect input out to other locations.

If the tracing output is being sent to the console, you can redirect it to a file as you would any output being sent to stdout. -- Cheers!
