could be this is a stupid question:
the flags are defined in upp & to access them must include upp-headers
(giving chicken / egg problem)
so must define some local flag / boolean that is set/unset when upp-headers are used
and this local flag / boolean must then be checked in my code

BUT!: the build-flag 'GUI' is used when building gui-apps, and not available? when cli-app? please advise

----
What flag(s) must I use to conditional compile for either GUI or CLI?
I've tried:

//#if defined(GUI)
//#if defined(GUI_X11) || defined(GUI_WIN) || defined(GUI_WIN32) || defined(GUI_GTK)
//#if defined(GUI_APP_MAIN)
//#if defined(GUI_WIN) || defined(PLATFORM_X11)
#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>
using namespace Upp;
	void PRINTSTRING(const std::string &s) { PromptOK(DeQtf(s.c_str())); }
#else
	void PRINTSTRING(const std::string &s) { std::cout << s << std::flush; }
#endif
