found it: ,--------------------------------------------------------------------- | Command: write-region start end filename &optional append visit | | This function writes the region (of the current buffer) delimited by | start and end into the file specified by filename. | | [...] | | Normally, write-region displays a message `Wrote file filename' in | the echo area. If visit is neither t nor nil nor a string, then this | message is inhibited. This feature is useful for programs that use | files for internal purposes, files which the user does not need to | know about. `--------------------------------------------------------------------- so ,------------------------------------------- | (write-region nil nil filename nil 'VISIT) `------------------------------------------- gets rid of the message. -- cheers, Thorsten
