Probably a dumb question. Experimenting with Mongo shell.

I want to do something like:

matt@linuxvm:~/mongodb-linux-i686-1.2.3/bin$ ./mongo
MongoDB shell version: 1.2.3
url: test
connecting to: test
Thu Feb 25 20:57:47 connection accepted from 127.0.0.1:37987 #3
type "help" for help
> function test() { debug.log("hello") }
> test()
Thu Feb 25 20:58:06 JS Error: ReferenceError: debug is not defined (shell):0

In other words, how can I output to the console when evaluating JS functions from within Mongo shell. I intend some admin / populate script that I'd like to output some nicety info.

I've tried console.log, debug.log, log the obvious ones..

Found the answer, its simply print

print("sweetnesss");
