_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Overwrites the file extRemes.log with the date and time that the
     file is cleared.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     clearlog(base.txt)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

base.txt: Unused argument for compatibility with GUI windows. 

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     As the GUI windows are used, the major commands invoked by the GUI
     windows are written to the file extRemes.log, and this file can
     get large with use.  This function is invoked when 'Clear log
     file' is selected from the File menu of the main toolkit dialog.

     The file is cleared, but still exists with a message indicating
     the time the file was last cleared.  If no extRemes.log file
     exists, then one is created with the date and time message.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     No value returned.  Has the effect of erasing any information
     contained in extRemes.log, or of creating this file if it does not
     exist; and adds the date and time when the file was
     cleared/created.
