Chipp Walters used to have something on his site that would do this.  Took a
quick look and did not find it.  Check the archives, but I think the Altuit
site has changed so much that old info will be obsolete.

Perhaps Chipp may know where it is hiding.

PS  I always use 'into msg' or 'after msg' so I can find them later.
For a short time I always added "!!" like

put fld output & "!!"
but got out of the habbit.

Of course another way is to make your own lib handler

putMsg "flag upperTier is "& fUpperTier

on putMsg txtStr
 put txtStr
end putMsg 

then turn off the 'put txtStr' line
or find the putMsg lines
