[comp.text.tex] \typeout problems

kochhar@speed.harvard.EDU (Sandeep Kochhar) (04/15/90)

A simple question: how do I print out the values of variable/commands?
For example, to print out the value of \topmargin, I tried the
obvious 
	\typeout{\topmargin}

but, instead of the value, I just got 
	\topmargin
printed out.

Thanks.
