I would appreciate any suggestions and comments on a workaround for  
the following problem. I am trying to constrain what appears in the  
results window to just the printf statements the mata portion of my  
stata program produces and have used the quietly command in a do file  
that is repeatedly called by another do file to suppress the remainder  
of the program. Yet I cannot figure out how to hide the actual mata  
code that writes the output I need to see.

Put the Mata code in a function and call the function.  E.g. when you  
run -hprescott-, you do not see any code, but it is calling Mata.
