Hi,
I doubt that it is possible.  LaTeX is a macro package based on TeX
primitives.  So TeX (the program) is actually not aware about LaTeX.

But if you really need this behavior you can switch to \batchmode at
the beginning and then temporarily to \errorstopmode whenever you want
to print something to screen.

Not very convenient but I have no better idea.

Regards,
  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
