How can one do this in general? For the debugger, there is, for example ;; ignore a couple of common "errors" (setq debug-ignored-errors '(quit beginning-of-line end-of-line beginning-of-buffer end-of-buffer end-of-file buffer-read-only file-supersession) ) but for messages? The only thing I can think of is the command that brings up the messages buffer. Then you can do some filtering, like this: (defun switch-to-filtered-messages-buffer () (interactive) (switch-to-buffer (messages-buffer)) (let ((inhibit-read-only t)) (goto-char 0) (while (re-search-forward "Mark set\n" nil t) ; no BOUND; NOERROR (replace-match "") )) (goto-char (point-max)) ) However, it doesn't work if the messages buffer is visible already and the user doesn't have to invoke a command to bring it up. You see? Yet another advantage for the two-pane, tty solution where buffers constantly have to be "brought up"! :) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
