yes, adding this defcustom to org.el #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defcustom org-cycle-silently nil "Non-nil means `org-cycle-internal-global' cycles silently. No messages about changing visibility state of the Org-mode buffer will be outputted anymore in that case. This is especially useful to avoid having these messages arrive at stdout or stderr when calling Org-mode functionality from an external program." :group 'org-cycle :type 'boolean) #+end_src and then changing the four #+begin_src emacs-lisp (unless ga (message "CONTENTS...")) #+end_src lines in `org-cycle-internal-global' to something like #+begin_src emacs-lisp (unless (or ga org-cycle-silently) (message "CONTENTS...")) #+end_src would do the job. -- cheers, Thorsten
