R help - May 2006 - process monitoring, a simple question

Hi,
I have a R program running very long and I run it in batch mode as below:

R CMD BATCH < myRcode.R

In myRcode.R, I have four steps and I want to "echo" the entry when
the
program reaches that point. However, using cat command only output
"echo"
info into .R.Rout file. Is there a way to do like this onto the screen:

step1 is running...
step1 is done.

and so on.

Thanks.
