Thank you Frank, that does indeed do the job, but even better, it got me to read :h :echom, which led to 'echo-redraw', to force any pending redraw before issuing an :echo. This is preferable as it gets the definition alone, without all the other messages. You can't take anything for granted in vim, I never thought to look in the help for :echo, what could possibly be more straightforward.
