[R] cat in a subroutine

[Steven T. Yen]

Thanks Erin.

No. Removing the second line (so that cat simply prints something else),

cat("\nMarginal and Discrete Effects of Gen Ordered Logit / Probit 
Probabilities")
#    "\n\nlogistic =",logistic)

I get yet another nonsense:

Error in cat("\nMarginal and Discrete Effects of Gen Ordered Logit / 
Probit Probabilities") :
   argument "j" is missing, with no default
