Browse Lookup Message (Scott Walker)

[Jason Garner]

Good Morning Scott,

I am new to FP programming but in Linux FP you can use a "-S" argument that
will get rid of that message and the user will just stare at a blank lookup.

I am not sure if this is the same for Windows FP.

I hope this helps.

- Jason
