You could blank out the prompt but there are lots of other options built in to change the way the MQ command works. Here's a paste from
http://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=menu_commands#message_bases. If your case maybe /NOSCAN will do the trick for you.
Data: None /CURRENT /GROUP /LIST /NEW /YOU /NOFOOT /NOSCAN /NOFROM /NOREAD
Performs a scan of all message bases, listing message statistics similar to those
found in the index reader. By default scanning will be done to all bases in all
groups.
If /CURRENT is supplied, scanning will be done only to the current message base
If /GROUP is supplied, scanning will be done only to bases in the current group
If /LIST is supplied, the scan will also list messages found which can be combined
with other options to limit what is listed.
If /NEW is supplied only bases with new messages will be shown.
If /YOU is supplied only bases with message to/from you will be shown.
If /NOFROM is supplied Mystic will exclude messages posted by you.
If /NOREAD is supplied Mystic will exlucde messages to the user that have already
been read.
If /NOSCAN is supplied, Mystic will not show the "scanning" prompt when calculating
If /NOFOOT is supplied, Mystic will not show the "footer" prompt
