I was able to suppress the module output with:
Add 'contain => mod_output' in the bundle where the 'commands' module is, plus
this:
body contain mod_output {
no_output => "true";
}

For anyone interested the bug report I opened (0000190) was closed with no
resolution. It was stated that allowing a file_select with edit_line is "too
big a hammer".
Excuse me, but couldn't the same statement be made about logging in as root?
The two proposed alternative solutions aren't sufficient:
1. Editing a list of knows files.
The file names are unknown other than they start with a "." and are in user's
base home directory (not subdirectories).
2. Editing a pattern (e.g., "/home/admin/.*/\..*").
This fills /var/cfengine/outputs with the utterly useless and unsuppressible
message "Directory /home/admin/usera in search path /home/admin/usera/\..* is
controlled by another user (uid 10105) - trusting its content is potentially
risky (possible race)".
Very disappointing response for such a simple requirement, i.e., edit a user's
"dot" files...
So, I've come up with yet another kluge work-around: a module that finds the
files of interest and returns then in a variable. Problem: the maximum
variable size evidently is 4k and the variable content is truncated.
Additionally, the following unwanted messages are logged every time the module
is called:
-> Executing '/var/cfengine/modules/FindDotFiles'
...(timeout=-678,owner=-1,group=-1)
M "/var/cfengine/modules/FindDotFiles":
-> Completed execution of /var/cfengine/modules/FindDotFiles
The never ending saga...
