Thanks for the dose of reality. If flags would allow selective
surpression of some of the messages, that would be the best
bet. The occasional need to ask the user sign etc questions
is something I have been ignoring, and this unique feature
of Maxima should be allowed to always be part of a call
to integrate.
I plan to abandon blanket surpression efforts as a waste of
time.
