I tried silent and silent!. I used it both places where I change
buffers with
exec "b" ...
e.g. exec "silent! b" ...
Did I miss something or put it in the wrong place?
Note that if you do the steps in my original message, then look at the
output of :messages, you will see that the output of the first exec "b"
... does not appear, and the output of the second appears _after_ the
output of echomsg, rather than before. Changing exec "b" to exec
"silent! b" has no effect.
I am using a self-compiled vim 7.0 that is slightly out-of-date (it only
has patches through 17). If you can't reproduce my problem with the
steps I outlined in my original message, I'll update my source,
recompile, and retry.
:version
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.0 (2006 May 7, compiled May 31 2006 17:11:36)
Included patches: 1-17
Thanks...Marvin
