Dan> Huh? Please explain this. He is saying that when you start an async command, you want to give the user some indication is has started; and then when the command finishes, Emacs should give an indication that it has finished. That seems fairly uncontroversial to me. However, I think the most likely cause of "flickering" would be the pcvs-like in-buffer notification, which got nixed. Messages in the echo area seem much less likely to be problematic. Tom
