Kevin  - thanks for the reply.  Unfortunately, this still doesn't seem to be
working.

Went through the followig steps:

- Opened up a .sql file in a new buffer, called TestSQL.sql
- Checked "Pop to SQLi Buffer after Send" in the SQL menu
- ran M-x sql-ms RET which created a new SQLi buffer called *SQL*
- In the TestSQL.sql buffer, i chose Set SQLi buffer from the
  SQL menu, and set it to *SQL*
- I wrote a simple select statement in TestSQL.sql, highlighted it, and chose
  "send region" from the sql menu.
- In the minibuffer, it says "string sent to buffer *SQL*"

And that's it, I get no other output beside that.
