Thank you Wayne for the quick response,

actually I could solve both problems with the log window by your advice.

My first problem with showing-up of the log window after cancelling dialogs in macros occurred since these macros had been started by another macro initially. Within this first macro, where they are started from I now also call the second macros as

str=runMacro("macroname");         which prevents opening of the log window.

Kind regards,
Ingo

How are you aborting the macro? What are you doing that causes this message to be displayed in the Log window?

You can work around this problem by not ignoring the string returned by
exec():

     str = exec("cmd", "/c", "start", "explorer.exe", path)

 > Alternatively it in this case I would like to close the log window using the macro.

You can close the Log window using

     if (isOpen("Log")) {
         selectWindow("Log");
         run("Close");
     }
