Bit bucket for BASIC commands?

Is there a way to discard the output of a command by redirecting its output to a "bit bucket"? (E.g., on Unix, one says:
Code:
my_command > /dev/null 2>&1

     (or)

my_command >& /dev/null
depending on which shell is being used.) Is there an analogous BASIC syntax?

 
Thanks - that's the one variant (null, nl, nil, ...) I didn't try.
