I want to write a program to send an email using the smtp example on the support website. When I run it however it displays the smtp servers answers on the screen.

Does anyone know of any method to suppress the screen display of something like that, perhaps a NO-DISPLAY option on the DISPLAY WINDOW or something?

This is on Unix in a character based environment.

The only display of characters in this context is caused by DISPLAY statements in the sample code, take these out and you should be all set. The DISPLAY statements is not needed, they are there just for informative purposes.

Doh! My mistake, I didn't catch the display of the socket return information.
