Hi Shimon

For an explanation and example of how to do this, see manual section 
3.2.2.7:  "User Message Directives".  It tells how to print and format 
messages from your POV script, and you'll be most likely to use the #debug 
directive.  If you are using PoV for Windows, the text appears in the 
messages window.  If you are using Linux or other *NIX then the text prints 
on your terminal output.  Can be redirected to a file.

Also you likely want to build your messages from variables and their values. 
The functions concat() and str() will do this.  Manual section 3.2.1.7.3: 
"String Functions"
