I think that what you want is this:

1. With the the listener displayed, double right-click to get the System
   Menu.
2. Select Attributes.
3. Change Deexposed Typeout Action to "Let it happen".
4. Click "Done"

The default behaviour for Lisp Listeners is to wait for exposure
before writing any output.
