trying to "echo" vars from the spec file

["bruce" <bedouglas earthlink net>]

Hi...

I'm playing around with a Sepc file, and I'm trying to display/echo some
vars as the script is being run. However, I'm getting an "unkown tag" error
msg, regardless of what I use.

I've tried to "echo 'foo'", %echo "foo", %(echo "foo"), etc... with no luck.
I'm trying to examine various vars in different areas of the script.. Is
there a way to do this? Can I do this anywhere in the script...

I'm really trying to change the directory where the "prep" appears to be
trying to find my .z.bz2 file...

Any help, would be appreciated.. I've been searching google with no luck..
