Turning debugging Message comments on and off

[Scott Corbett]

Robert,

I recall someone writing a few years ago about a neat way to do this.

In the .Initialize procedure, set a variable such as DebugVar ="On" or  
"Off"

then, for each message do something like this:

If DebugVar="On"
	Message "Give me the news"
endif

By changing only one variable value you can turn on and off all debug  
messages.
