Summary: Alllow users to monitor text files as code is interpreted

Initial Comment:
When I run a program with debug logging turned on, the
log output is directed to a file rather than standard
output or standard error (which are treated specially
by JUnit and other testing harnesses).  I would like
for DrJava to support opening a new interactions pane
containing the current contents of the file, much as 

tail -f <filename> 

shows the current tail of a file.  As it stands I have
to run the tail command in a separate OS window.
