Thanks for the reply, BruceS.

Because the Wiki says that .Begin() needs to be called before logging anything, I had to look at the code again to see why the 
documentation would conflict with the code. Turns out, it doesn't seem to.

ComplexLogger's Begin() method is called /only/ if a LogHandler is not passed to its _new Sub in the sDefaultOutput parameter. 
And, if it were called twice, it would raise an error. So, I don't think that is the issue.

And, yes, perhaps "Begin" should be "Open". Other of the loggers use Open but have no Close as that appears to be handled 
internally.
