Had you thought to use MESSAGE to achieve your "various
diagnostic ends", you would be golden. Just set !Quiet=1
and run the darn thing. No messages.

But PRINT is going to print, no matter what.

;******************************************************
PRO test

Print, 'This is PRINT message'
Message, 'This is a message from MESSAGE.', /Informational

end
*********************************************************

IDL> .COMPILE test
Compiled module: TEST.
IDL> test
This is PRINT message
TEST: This is a message from MESSAGE.
IDL> !Quiet=1
IDL> test
This is PRINT message

Cheers,

David
