printing debug info

Hi List As many of us I suppose, I am used to put a lot of 'print in my code for debugging purpose. The problem is how to get rid of them easily and without removing wanted 'print. One way I have found goes like this: debug-print: :print a: ["This is a test" 1 28-01-2003] debug-print [a] And when I want to get rid of these prints, I use the following debug-print: :comment I am wondering if there are better ways and if PREBOL could help here? Regards Patrick

I think what you're doing is a pretty common approach. Even Carl does it. :) With the conditional directives available in PREBOL, I'm sure you could use that as well, to keep things from being included in the final output script, but I haven't done that to know what the simplest way is. -- Gregg
