Does anybody know how to suppress selection criteria on QUIZ output?

[Jonbickel@aol.com]

Peter, 

IIRC - the CHOOSE message prints to stderr, while data output goest to stdout.  So, if you split stdout from stderr, you should be able to capture the data output without the CHOOSE.

i.e. RESULT=`quiz auto=... 2>/dev/null`

I don't have a box to test this on at the moment.  So, I apologize if my memory is faulty.
