thanks.

though i needed to keep messages in the *Message* buffer before and
after the save flood.

my problem is that save-buffer caused so many lines (about 2 x 1000
lines) that scrolled off important messages (such as copy dir failed)
in the buffer, and i also wanted messages like “Xyz is done now.” that
happens when the elisp script finished.

am looking for a way to temp disable save-buffer writing a message to
*Message*. Thanks.
