on If you specify the on parameter for the set logMessages command, messages in the current view will be also written to the editor log.  If you specify the on parameter for the set default.logMessages command, messages in all of the views that have logMessages set to default will be also written to the editor log.
off If you specify the off parameter for the set logMessages command, messages in the current view will not be written to the editor log.  If you specify the off parameter for the set default.logMessages command, messages in all views that have logMessages set to default will not be written to the editor log file.
install If you specify the install parameter for the set default.logMessages command, all of the views that have logMessages set to default will use the value of install.logMessages to determine whether the messages should be also written to the editor log.

Description
