hmm - reading the code, I see that "informational messages cannot be suppressed. There are about as many calls for those as there are for "status messages". Possibly some pruning (say, with a new option "-noinfo"), though it would take some work to avoid suppressing messages that you actually need. I had thought that reducing the time for each of the message types dealt with user-nuisance. #INFOSECS:1 #MESSAGESECS:2 #ALERTSECS:3 #NO_PAUSE:FALSE -- Thomas E.
