Going from Max to Maya - I want to turn off edge display. Any tips? (SOLVED)

Hey all - I would like to find a way to  make it such that edges do not display on my selected mesh while in, say edge mode. Though if I could just turn them off all together so when I'm in object mode they don't display either, that would be great. I want to do this mainly during hardening and softening edges, and other operations where  I want an unfettered view of my objects surface quality.

I have searched the googles, this forum, etc., and can NOT find my answer. Seems so elementary having come from Max. My apologies if it's right under my nose. 

Thanks!!

    I have this set as a hotkey script on my 5 key for the same reason, it toggles wireframe visibility.

    <p>{</p>
    <p>string $CurVal = `displayPref -q -wsa`;</p>
    <p>if ($CurVal == "none"){</p>
    <p>	displayPref -wsa "full";</p>
    <p>    }</p>
    <p>else if ($CurVal == "full"){</p>
    <p>	displayPref -wsa "none";</p>
    <p>   	}</p>
    <p>}</p>

    Oh, man, thanks A LOT for this snippet! I've suffered for so long time without a way to hide wireframe in component editing mode!
