4\description{
5  This is \bold{defunct} now:
6  The global \code{DEBUG} has been a cheap precursor to \R's
7  \code{\link{options}(verbose= .)} (or a \code{verbose} function argument).
8
9  This function prints out its arguments as \code{\link{cat}()} does,
10  additionally printing the name of function in which it's been called ---
11  only when a global variable \code{DEBUG} exists and is
12  \code{\link{TRUE}}.\cr
13}
14\usage{
15prt.DEBUG(\dots, LEVEL = 1)
16}
17\arguments{
18  \item{\dots}{arguments to be passed to \code{\link{cat}(\dots)} for
19    printing.}
20  \item{LEVEL}{integer (or logical) indicating a debugging level for printing.}

24%%   fragments), but sometimes I still consider renaming it and have it
25%%   work using \code{getOption("verbose")} alone.
