There are two ways to do this
1) Adding it into a function using software
    
   It is possible to turn on or off debuging for a class or channel
   using a software call in a funtion. The call to use is
   wine_dbg_parse_options(+|-class]|[+|-channel]")
 
   Examples:
 
wine_dbg_parse_options("+ddraw")

          this will turn on the trace, warn, err and fixme class 
messages for the
          ddraw channel.

wine_dbg_parse_options("warn+ddraw")

          this will turn on the warn class messages for the ddraw channel.

            Please note that relay is not an ordinary  channel
            and is treated differently by wineserver. In order for
            relay to function there is some work that needs to be done at
            startup. So one way to get it to work properly would is to start
            with the program with -debugmsg +relay turn it off with
            wine_dbg_parse_options, and then turn
            it on again when needed.
         
2) Turning on/off Debug channels and classes in the debugger
       
          It is possible to turn on and of debugging output from within the
          debugger using the set command. Using this technique has the
          advantage of reducing the size of the debug log.

    Examples:

set +gdi</parameter>

         This will turn on messages for all calls to gdi channel.

set warn+draw

         This will turn on all messages of the class warn on the channel 
ddaw.

warning:

       If you start the program with winedbg -debugmsg +(channel)
       calls from the debugger will be logged  which is not what you want.
      Therefore, If you need to start logging messages as the program
       starts you can start the program with wine and attach to the
       program with the debugger.

Yes this will be part of the documentation at some point.<grin>
