Well, since it got printed to *Messages*, it must have gotten printed in the echo area for some small fraction of a second. So the real question is: How do we execute this macro in such a way that we are actually able to _notice_ that "This is the message" got printed in the echo area? I have a reasonably fast computer. Who knows, maybe it actually works on a very slow computer. Sincerely, Luc.
