The macro TYPEOUT requires one parameter list. The text of the list is sent to the standard error stream, followed by a newline. This feature can be handy to show, e.g., messages such as version numbers in macro package files. Example: The following macro includes a file and writes to the screen that this file is currently processed.

DEFINEMACRO(includefile)(1)(\ 
    TYPEOUT(About to process document: ARG1)\ 
    INCLUDEFILE(ARG1))
