I do not think this discussion warrants any re-doing so far. (Only an addition to the manual) Your suggestion seems like the missing thing here. But I am not sure how badly needed that is. As John said, the ":results none" argument was added to speed things up when the results are huge. I have no idea how much overhead it is to copy the results into the org buffer and into the echo area. At least it has not bothered me yet. When the results are too big, I usually use ":results none" because I do not want to see them in the org buffer either. Just my opinion, Andreas
