HI Rick:
You view the data in the older logs simply by the command itself.  For
example:

sh/log 500 Disconnected

would get you the last 500 entries contained the word Disconnected. 
DXSpider will automatically roll back through the various monthly logs
until 500 entries are found.  Just a small matter of s/w, but one of
those invisible attributes of DXSpider that speaks well of Dirk's
design.

Now for my highly biased, personal comment... You get all those
extraneous log entries because of all the nodes you are seeing.  Get rid
of them and your log file size will go down.  Set some filtering to get
rid of the nodes, but keep the spots... mission accomplished.  Down off
my soap box.
