I inquired about means of suppressing the redisplay of commands in Xedit
when they leave rc<0.  Jochen Hein suggested:

>1. invoke Xedit with the (NoMSG Option
>2. 'Set MSGMode Off' in your Macro
>3. in CMS Environment: 'Set EMSG Off'

Thanks, but though these definitely suppress redisplay, I want the user to
see messages.

The best answer I've received, thanks to M. Klassen, is cause the ENTER key
to invoke a macro that reads and executes commands in the queue.

From the application:   SET ENTER BEFORE MACRO CMD$DO

Which invokes:          /* File:      CMD$DO XEDIT                      */
                        /* Function:  Issue cmdline commands, set rc=0  */
                        do queued()
                           parse pull command
                           command
                        end
                        exit 0

This will serve for my needs but doesn't fully address the general problem
of suppressing re-display.  It won't intercept what was present on the
command line when a PF key is pressed.  If some other program (like
MAIL/MAILBOOK) has control of the command line via "READ", then the above
approach doesn't work.  What we really need is a "SET REDISPLAY ON/OFF"
Xedit command.  Hmmm, sounds like something to bring up on VM SHARE.
