We have a program which does something like:


strcpy(string, "+0\n/search/\n:n\n:e #\n");

execlp("/bin/vi", "/bin/vi", string, "/tmp/file1", "/home/lwv27/file2",
        (char *) NULL);

When vi comes up, it prints something like:
clear screen
"/tmp/tdfta16392" 5 lines, 160 characters "/home/lwv27/.answer" 17 lines, 429 ch
"/tmp/tdfta16392" 5 lines, 160 characters
[Hit return to continue]

where that long line is REALLY a long line.

What we would REALLY like to see is the clear screen and the first
file - without the info about the files.

Is there a quiet mode that can be invoked some how ?
