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!

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.
