    Is there a way to redirect the broadcast messages that are messing up my
    screen? Suppressing them is like killing the innocent postman.
    Wouldn't something like

   $ SET BRO=MAIL/DEV=MY.LOGFIL

    be _very_ useful? I'm working with VMS V4.3 and have heard that V4.4 has
    something within the SMG$ package that does things like this. I'd rather
    prefer a one-shot command that keeps me within DCL, however.
 
     
Yes Iwould like to see a way to place broadcast messages in a status
line that would not distroy everything on my screen.

Suggest that it be along the line of
$ SET BROADCAST/LINE=24/BELL/PAUSE
