Ted,

You may also want to try the function report of the npmc package.

For example,

 

report("Have a nice day!", style="underline", char="*") 

         

gives

 

Have a nice day!

****************

 

Regards,

 

Klaus.

Many thanks, Matthias! cat() did the job, exactly as wanted.

message() won't do, since sink() eother captures output

(type="output", the default) or captures messages

(type="message"), in which case it won't capture the ouput!

In any case, even if it captured both, I wouldn't want to

sin() all the other messages.

 

Best wishes,

Ted.
