The original poster has things backwards.  Gosling invented the use of
permanent buffers for transient information.  It sounds as if Unipress
finally excised it.  Stallman's original EMACS for ITS and TOPS-20 did
not have it, neither did Multics Emacs nor Lisp Machine Zwei.  In the
Unix world, CCA EMACS doesn't have it either.  So, it seems as if
Unipress opted for compatibility.

Zwei, however, has a feature that solves the problem you have.  There is
a command (Execute Command To Buffer, I think it's called) which
redirects transient output to a buffer.
